Definitely check the age and condition of the part worns you have.
Camskill have most tyres in stock. Had PS4's before I pulled the plug on ContiSport Contact 7'sunless I can find a suitable replacement ....
Blimey, it must have been bad if fitting P-Zeros has improved itTo all those of you who suggested tyres
Today I had a pair of part worn never repaired Pirelli P Zeroes with a good 6mm tread and DOT 2720 date stamp fitted for the bargain price of £80 for the pair!!!. The difference was immediately night and day, I have so much more confidence in the car now it doesn’t skip around and the back end “wiggle” that was so disconcerting has gone.
I might still get the alignment checked some time in the future but for now this has been a great improvement.
All I can say is that an obviously really bad set of P Zeroes, replaced by a better set of the same made a very noticeable difference …. I don’t have any experience of any other brands on the Maserati so I don’t know if PS4’s (for example) would be amazing in comparison.Ha ha the Pirelli haters will love this![]()
I've no issues with Pirelli myself just appears that preferred choice on here is Michelin.All I can say is that an obviously really bad set of P Zeroes, replaced by a better set of the same made a very noticeable difference ….

And yet, the new Bridgestone Potenza Sport trounced the Michelin PS4s in all objectve tests... No issues with Pirelli either. Conti Sport Contact 7 is perhaps the best all round tyre on the market currently, but you never hear about them fitted to Maseratis...I've no issues with Pirelli myself just appears that preferred choice on here is Michelin.
The sportcontact7 doesnt come in OEM size on the rear. So thats a bit of an issue with tires for these cars. Pirelli and Michelin always have the sizes, other brands you have make a compromise.
most car forums are like this though with tyres. Not many people want to experiment with a 1k set of tyres to find out they are a backwards step to the norm.but you never hear about them fitted to Maseratis...
glad you confirmed my own experience. The lift off skip to the left was not so pronounced on my 2006 QP but tram lining was quite unnerving.To all those of you who suggested tyres

This....Not a wiggle on lift off, but this car tramlines worse than my old 323i
I would then follow up with a 4 wheel alignment (at a decent place) and aim to get rid of any 'Toe Out' front or back and go either neutral or a little 'Toe in' to stabilise the handling.
Whilst doing the above, the garage will be able to advise whether your bushes are worn/torn. If so, they'll need replacing.

May have been mishaped. Had that a few times on other cars.All I can say is that an obviously really bad set of P Zeroes, replaced by a better set of the same made a very noticeable difference ….
