Tyres

Winter tyres

These tyres are specially designed for
driving on snow and ice and are fitted
to replace the ones supplied with the
vehicle.
Only use winter tyres having
the same dimensions as those
provided with the vehicle or
as indicated on page 232.
The Maserati Service Network is
available to provide suggestions as to
the types of tyres most suited to the
use foreseen by the Customer.
For the type of tyres to use, inflation
pressures and relative specifications
for winter tyres, carefully follow the
indications found in the section
"Capacities and technical
specifications".
The features of these tyres are
markedly reduced in winter when
tread depth is less than 4 mm. In this
case, they should be replaced.
The specific features of the winter
tyres lead to lower performance under
normal environmental conditions or
on long highway trips, compared to
the standard tyres.
Therefore, their use should be limited
to the performance for which they
have been type-approved.
Fit identical (manufacturer
and tread) tyres on all four
wheels, in order to ensure
safe driving, braking and good
manoeuvrability.
Remember that the direction
of tyre rotation should not be
reversed.
