Vehicle model
Maserati Quattroporte
The Quattroporte, whose name means four doors in Italian, is Maserati's large luxury sedan. First shown in 1963, it was one of the first sedans to receive a competition-derived engine. Over the decades, it has gone through six generations, remaining the brand's flagship in the full-size prestige sedan segment. It is aimed at buyers seeking the space, comfort, and presence of a large sporty limousine, with the Maserati aura. Recent versions offered twin-turbo V6 and V8 engines, up to the Trofeo variants. In terms of tires and wheels, the Quattroporte uses large wheels, often 19 to 21 inches, with low-profile performance tires and frequently staggered front/rear fitments. In Quebec, a dedicated set of winter tires is essential for winter handling.

Les Maserati modernes chaussent généralement de grandes jantes : on retrouve couramment du 18 à 21 pouces sur les berlines (Ghibli, Quattroporte) et les VUS (Levante), certaines éditions spéciales atteignant 21 ou 22 pouces. Ces véhicules utilisent souvent des pneus de performance à profil bas, fréquemment montés en dimensions différentes à l'avant et à l'arrière (montes asymétriques). Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont indispensables et obligatoires; il est souvent judicieux de prévoir un second jeu de jantes d'hiver d'un diamètre plus modeste pour réduire les coûts et améliorer la traction. Vérifiez toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse et entraxe propres au modèle.
