Continental OE on Maserati Ghibli

Maserati has homologated Continental’s ContiSportContact 5 for original equipment on its Ghibli. The Continental tyre will be supplied in eight 18 to 12-inch dimensions, and all Maserati-approved fitments will carry the letters ‘MGT’ on the sidewall. The Ghibli approval follows last year original equipment homologation for the Quattroporte.

The base version of the Ghibli will be fitted with the ContiSportContact 5 in size 235/50 R 18 97 Y, whilst models higher up the pecking order come with tyres for 19, 20 and 21-inch rims. The 301 kW (404 hp) version of the Ghibli will roll out of the factory on size 245/35 ZR 21 96 Y XL at the front and size 285/30 ZR 21 100 Y XL tyres fitted to the rear wheels. The tyres for the Ghibli are speed rated up to 320 km/h (199mph), says Continental.
