Conti OE for new Quattroporte

Italian sports car manufacturer Maserati has homologated Continental’s ContiSportContact 5 P for the new Quattroporte. This is the first approval the German tyre maker has ever received from Maserati, and the tyre will be supplied in six 19 to 21-inch sizes in line with equipment specifications and engine size. The tyres built specially for the Quattroporte will be marked with the letters “MGT” to avoid confusion with other tyres from the same series.

In all, Maserati has approved two tyres in each of three sizes: 19, 20 and 21-inch, with different size tyres fitted to the front and rear of the Quattroporte. The Italian manufacturer will fit 19-inch tyres on its standard models, while the cars with higher engine outputs are equipped with 20 and 21-inch versions.

The ContiSportContact 5 P is the sportiest, most high-tech tyre Continental manufactures. Featuring asymmetrical tread ribs and offset tread blocks, and manufactured in different versions for front and rear axles using a high silica content compound, these tyres are available for 18 to 23-inch rims in widths from 225mm, and 40, 35, 30 and 25 aspect ratios.
