2022 Maserati Tire Fitment Guide

2022 Maserati spans a wide slice of the modern Italian performance market, from the executive-sport Ghibli to the larger Quattroporte and the exotic mid-engine MC20. That mix means tire sizing is not shared across the whole brand lineup for the year, even though two of the three models overlap heavily. Ghibli and Quattroporte use six radial sizes across 19-, 20-, and 21-inch fitments, while the MC20 carries its own staggered 20-inch sizes. The practical first step with 2022 Maserati is confirming your exact model, then matching the correct front and rear size pair before narrowing down sidewall style, brand, and product details.

Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2022 Maserati

Eight tire sizes are used across 2022 Maserati vehicles, and they vary by model rather than carrying across the full lineup. The main decision is confirming the correct model and wheel diameter first, since Ghibli and Quattroporte span 19-, 20-, and 21-inch fitments while the MC20 uses a model-specific staggered 20-inch setup. Understanding that distinction before choosing a product saves time and helps ensure the right match.

245/35R21Metric radial

Year(s): 2022Fit(s): Ghibli, QuattroporteConstruction: RadialRim: 21-in

A 245/35R21 is a radial tire with a 245-millimeter section width, a 35-series aspect ratio, and a 21-inch rim diameter. This size is shared by the Ghibli and Quattroporte, but no product range appears here to compare brands, sidewall styles, or speed-rating variation within the size. As a low-profile 21-inch fitment, it belongs to those two sedans rather than the full 2022 Maserati range. Confirm the model and the front or rear position before moving on to the exact tire choice.

245/40R20Metric radial

Year(s): 2022Fit(s): Ghibli, QuattroporteConstruction: RadialRim: 20 in

A 245/40R20 is a radial tire with a 245-millimeter section width, a 40-series aspect ratio, and a 20-inch rim diameter. This Ghibli and Quattroporte size is available from BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac in Blackwall and RWL sidewall styles, with speed ratings that vary by product between W at 168 mph and Y at 186+ mph. Rim-width coverage runs from 8.0 to 9.5 inches where stated, and load capacity reaches 1,709 pounds at 50 psi on the BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A. Choose this size if your sedan is equipped with the corresponding 20-inch front fitment and you want to compare modern radial options within that wheel diameter.

285/30R21Metric radial

Year(s): 2022Fit(s): Ghibli, QuattroporteConstruction: RadialRim: 21-in

A 285/30R21 is a radial tire with a 285-millimeter section width, a 30-series aspect ratio, and a 21-inch rim diameter. This size is specific to the Ghibli and Quattroporte rather than universal across 2022 Maserati, and no brand or sidewall range appears here for further product comparison. Its wide, short-sidewall profile points to the corresponding rear fitment on those sedans. Confirm that your car is on the 21-inch staggered setup before selecting a tire in this size.

Year(s): 2022Fit(s): MC20Construction: RadialRim: 20 in

A 305/30R20 is a radial tire with a 305-millimeter section width, a 30-series aspect ratio, and a 20-inch rim diameter. This size is specific to the MC20 and comes from Nitto and Pro-Trac with Blackwall, RWL, and Redline sidewall styles, while W-rated products carry a 168 mph speed ceiling and some versions do not show a speed letter in the size marking. The broad sidewall-style spread makes this one of the more appearance-sensitive choices in the 2022 Maserati range. It belongs to the MC20 rear position, so verify both model and tire position before choosing among the available radial products.

2022 Maserati Models

Three Maserati models are covered for 2022. Tire sizing varies by model, with Ghibli and Quattroporte sharing the same six-size family while the MC20 uses its own dedicated staggered 20-inch setup, so identifying the model matters before choosing a tire. Select your model below to narrow fitment history, size pairings, and product choices.

2022 Maserati Ghibli

The 2022 Maserati Ghibli is the brand's midsize sport sedan, blending Italian luxury with a more driver-focused personality than many executive four-doors. Its tires mount on 19-, 20-, or 21-inch rims depending on the wheel package, with staggered front and rear sizing across those combinations. Because it shares its tire family with the Quattroporte, the key is matching the exact wheel diameter and axle position on your car.

2022 Maserati MC20

The 2022 Maserati MC20 is a mid-engine halo car built around modern supercar proportions and a dedicated high-performance chassis. Its tires mount on 20-inch rims front and rear, but the front and rear sizes are unique to the MC20 rather than shared with the sedans. That makes model identification especially important, since neither of its sizes crosses over to the Ghibli or Quattroporte.

2022 Maserati Quattroporte

The 2022 Maserati Quattroporte is Maserati's full-size luxury performance sedan, carrying the brand's long-running tradition of combining formal proportions with sporting character. Its tires mount on 19-, 20-, or 21-inch rims depending on wheel package, using the same staggered size family as the Ghibli. Buyers should confirm the wheel diameter first, then match the correct front and rear size pair for the car.

Frequently Asked Questions

These FAQs sort out how 2022 Maserati tire sizing changes between Ghibli, Quattroporte, and MC20, what the metric size codes mean, and how sidewall style, speed rating, and collector-car care affect the right choice.

Size Basics & Fitment

What tire sizes fit 2022 Maserati vehicles?

2022 Maserati vehicles use eight tire sizes across three model lines. Ghibli and Quattroporte share 245/45R19 with 275/40R19, 245/40R20 with 285/35R20, and 245/35R21 with 285/30R21. MC20 uses a separate staggered 20-inch setup with 245/35R20 in front and 305/30R20 in the rear. Rim-width guidance is available for several of those sizes: 245/45R19 fits 7.5 to 9.0 inches, 275/40R19 fits 9.0 to 11.0 inches, 245/40R20 fits 8.0 to 9.5 inches, 285/35R20 fits 9.5 to 11.0 inches, and 245/35R20 fits 8.0 to 9.5 inches where stated.

That means year and make alone are not enough to choose a tire for 2022 Maserati. You need the exact model and the exact front or rear wheel size already on the car. Ghibli and Quattroporte overlap, so their decision usually starts with wheel diameter, while MC20 owners need to stay within the model's dedicated front and rear pair. Checking the tire sidewall on the car now is often the fastest way to confirm whether you are working with a 19-, 20-, or 21-inch fitment.

What does 245/40R20 mean on a 2022 Maserati tire?

On a 2022 Maserati tire, 245/40R20 means the tire is 245 millimeters wide, has a 40-series aspect ratio, uses radial construction, and mounts on a 20-inch wheel. That size appears on Ghibli and Quattroporte applications. Products in 245/40R20 span Blackwall and RWL sidewall styles, and available speed ratings vary between W and Y depending on the exact tire. Rim-width coverage reaches 8.0 to 9.5 inches where stated.

The practical value of reading that code is that it prevents mixing one 20-inch Maserati fitment with another that looks close but is not the same. A 245/40R20 belongs with a specific wheel package and axle position, and it should be paired with the matching rear size that goes with that setup. Once the code is confirmed, then you can compare brand, sidewall appearance, and load or speed details without risking a basic fitment mistake.

Do all 2022 Maserati models use the same tire size?

No, 2022 Maserati models do not all use the same tire size. Ghibli and Quattroporte share the same six-size family across 19-, 20-, and 21-inch staggered combinations, while MC20 uses only 245/35R20 and 305/30R20. Even within the shared Ghibli and Quattroporte family, the correct size depends on the wheel package and whether you are selecting a front or rear tire. The overlap is broad, but it is not universal across the whole make.

That matters because a buyer can be completely correct on year and make and still end up in the wrong size without the model. The MC20 is the clearest example, since its rear 305/30R20 does not cross over to the sedans. If you own a Ghibli or Quattroporte, the next checkpoint is the wheel diameter on the car. If you own an MC20, keep the dedicated front and rear pairing intact rather than treating the tire choice as interchangeable with the sedan range.

Buying the Right Tire

What sidewall styles are available for 2022 Maserati tires?

2022 Maserati tires are available in more than one sidewall style, but the range depends on size. Blackwall is the most common look across 245/45R19, 275/40R19, 245/35R20, 245/40R20, and 285/35R20. RWL appears in 245/40R20 and 285/35R20, while the MC20 rear size 305/30R20 adds both RWL and Redline alongside Blackwall. All of those choices are radial products, so the sidewall decision is visual rather than a change in basic construction type.

For most 2022 Maserati owners, Blackwall is the most natural match for the brand's modern luxury-performance character. RWL or Redline can create a more customized appearance, especially on a car built more for individual style than factory-stock presentation. Because the sidewall selection changes by size, confirm the exact front or rear tire code before focusing on appearance. That prevents falling in love with a style treatment that is only offered in a different axle size or on a different model.

What brands make tires for 2022 Maserati vehicles?

BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac cover the 2022 Maserati sizes that have current product offerings here. BFGoodrich appears across 245/40R20, 285/35R20, 245/45R19, 275/40R19, and 245/35R20. Nitto appears in those same sizes plus 305/30R20 for the MC20 rear, while Pro-Trac appears in 245/40R20, 285/35R20, and 305/30R20. The 21-inch sedan sizes do not have products summarized here, so the strongest brand concentration sits in the 19- and 20-inch ranges.

Brand choice on a 2022 Maserati usually comes after the size and axle position are settled. Once those are confirmed, the remaining comparison becomes more about the tire's exact series, speed rating, sidewall appearance, and any load information shown for that product. Buyers with a Ghibli or Quattroporte often have the widest brand spread in 19- and 20-inch fitments, while MC20 buyers will see the narrowest selection because that car uses a more specialized staggered setup.

What is the difference between BFGoodrich and Nitto choices for 2022 Maserati 245/45R19 tires?

In 245/45R19 for 2022 Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte applications, BFGoodrich and Nitto both offer Blackwall radial choices, but their visible specs are not identical. BFGoodrich appears in g-Force Comp 2 AS at 98W and g-Force Phenom T/A at 102Y, while Nitto appears in NT555 G2 at 102W. Weight ranges from about 29 to 29.65 pounds in this group, and the BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A carries a load figure of 1,874 pounds at 50 psi.

That makes the comparison less about whether one brand fits and more about which exact product characteristics align with your use. A driver prioritizing a higher posted speed category may focus on the Y-rated BFGoodrich option, while another buyer may prefer a familiar series or a particular brand reputation within modern performance radials. Because all of them are Blackwall 19-inch radials, the real tie-breakers are the series-level specs and the needs of the specific Ghibli or Quattroporte setup on the car.

Fitting & Setup

What rim width do 2022 Maserati tires require?

Rim-width guidance for 2022 Maserati varies by tire size. The 245/45R19 size fits 7.5 to 9.0 inches, 275/40R19 fits 9.0 to 11.0 inches, 245/40R20 fits 8.0 to 9.5 inches, 285/35R20 fits 9.5 to 11.0 inches, and 245/35R20 fits 8.0 to 9.5 inches where stated on the tire options. Those ranges reflect the tire itself, not a blanket rule for every wheel Maserati used that year. The 21-inch sedan sizes and the 305/30R20 rear MC20 size do not carry a rim-width range here.

The important takeaway is to verify the actual wheel on the car rather than assume every 19-inch or 20-inch Maserati wheel shares the same width. A tire can match the rim diameter and still be outside its preferred width range if the wheel is unusually narrow or wide. That is especially relevant on staggered performance cars, where front and rear wheels often differ. Matching the tire's stated range to the wheel already in service is one of the smartest checks to make before final selection.

Do 2022 Maserati tires require inner tubes?

The 2022 Maserati radial sizes summarized here are tubeless in the examples that show a tube marking, such as 285/35ZR20 100Y TL. Most of the other products do not show a separate tube-type marking and follow the same modern radial pattern. No tube-type collector construction appears in these fitments. That makes inner tubes a non-issue for the typical 2022 Maserati tire choice in this group.

Even so, the wheel and valve hardware still matter. A tubeless radial depends on a sound wheel bead seat and a healthy valve stem to hold air correctly, so those parts deserve attention any time new tires go on. If your car uses factory wheels, inspect for damage or corrosion before mounting. If it uses aftermarket wheels, verify the wheel was designed for tubeless radial service and that the tire size you chose matches both diameter and width correctly.

Maintenance, Storage & Longevity

How should I store a 2022 Maserati when the tires are fitted?

A 2022 Maserati should be stored on clean, properly inflated tires in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight, electric motors, welders, battery chargers, and other ozone-producing equipment. Modern radials tolerate inactivity better than older bias-ply designs, but they still age from heat, UV exposure, and long periods of static loading. Keeping the car on a clean surface rather than bare earth or standing moisture also helps protect the rubber and the wheels themselves.

For a car that sits for long stretches, move it periodically so one spot on the tread is not carrying the same load month after month. Some owners use tire cradles or place the vehicle on stands for long-term storage, but that should be done with care and according to the vehicle's lifting points. The goal is simple: reduce environmental aging and reduce stress concentration. Good storage habits preserve ride quality, sidewall appearance, and confidence when the car returns to regular road use.

How long do tires on a 2022 Maserati typically last?

Tire life on a 2022 Maserati is usually judged more by age and condition than by mileage alone, especially on enthusiast-owned cars that are driven seasonally or only on weekends. A sensible rule is to start evaluating closely around five to seven years from the DOT date code and to treat about ten years as a serious replacement threshold even if tread remains. Heat cycles, storage conditions, and inflation habits all affect longevity before the tread is visibly worn out.

That matters because a low-mile Maserati can still be riding on old rubber that no longer behaves as it should. Hardening, sidewall checking, and reduced wet-weather grip often appear before a collector or luxury-performance car reaches conventional mileage wear-out. The age code on the tire tells the real story. If the tires are several seasons old, have them inspected with the same seriousness you would apply to fluid age or battery condition before relying on the car for spirited or extended driving.

How often should tires on a 2022 Maserati be inspected?

Tires on a 2022 Maserati should be inspected before every drive and more carefully before any long trip or sustained highway use. Look for cuts, bulges, impact damage, irregular tread wear, cracking, and any sign that pressure is not holding evenly from one tire to another. Because these cars often use staggered fitments, compare each axle to the correct size rather than assuming the whole car wears the same code. Valve stems also deserve inspection on modern tubeless setups.

A quick walk-around can catch the kind of problem that turns an enjoyable drive into a roadside interruption. Performance-oriented low-profile tires can be especially sensitive to pothole damage and underinflation, so small issues are worth taking seriously. Keep a quality pressure gauge in the garage and use it when the tires are cold. Regular inspection is also the easiest way to spot alignment or suspension issues early, since unusual shoulder wear often appears before the car develops an obvious handling complaint.

Safety & Road Use

Are 2022 Maserati tires safe for highway driving?

Yes, the 2022 Maserati tire sizes with current product coverage are modern radial designs intended for normal road use, and several carry substantial speed capability. The 245/40R20, 285/35R20, 245/45R19, and 275/40R19 ranges include W-rated options good to 168 mph and Y-rated options good to 186+ mph, while the 245/35R20 and 305/30R20 MC20 sizes include W-rated options at 168 mph. Those figures are tire-category ceilings, not recommendations for public-road speeds.

Real-world highway safety depends just as much on inflation, age, damage-free condition, alignment, and the mechanical health of the car as it does on the rating molded into the sidewall. Maserati performance cars are fully capable of exposing a weak or aging tire quickly, especially on rough pavement or at sustained speed. If the car has been stored, recently purchased, or driven infrequently, inspect the tires carefully before assuming the existing set is ready for a longer highway run.

What inflation pressure should I use for 2022 Maserati tires?

Inflation pressure for a 2022 Maserati should follow the vehicle placard or owner's manual first, because factory pressure targets are vehicle-specific and often differ front to rear on staggered setups. Tire-level pressure figures shown here are tied to load ratings on certain products rather than serving as the everyday running recommendation. Examples include 1,709 pounds at 50 psi for one 245/40R20, 1,874 pounds at 50 psi for one 245/45R19, 2,039 pounds at 50 psi for one 275/40R19, and 1,521 pounds at 50 psi for one 245/35R20.

Those numbers tell you the pressure associated with the tire's rated load capacity, not what every Ghibli, Quattroporte, or MC20 should automatically run in service. A luxury-performance sedan or supercar may call for different pressures depending on axle, wheel package, and loading condition. Use the Maserati factory recommendation as the baseline, then confirm that your chosen tire's maximum-rated pressure and load capacity comfortably support the application. Avoid transferring a pressure figure from one tire size to another just because both are on the same make.

What should I check before taking a 2022 Maserati on a longer drive?

Before a longer drive in a 2022 Maserati, inspect each tire for cracking, cuts, punctures, bulges, and irregular tread wear, then verify cold inflation pressure on all four corners. Confirm that the front and rear sizes match the car's intended staggered setup, since Ghibli, Quattroporte, and MC20 do not all use the same pairings. Check the valve stems, the spare or mobility kit if equipped, and look over the inside sidewall as well as the outer face, where impact damage is sometimes easier to miss.

Tires are only one part of the pre-drive routine on a modern high-performance Italian car, but they are the part in direct contact with the road. If anything feels off during the first few miles, such as vibration, tramlining, or a steering pull, stop and recheck before continuing. Long-drive preparation should also include the broader mechanical basics appropriate to the car, including brakes and fluid condition, but tire inspection remains the fastest and most visible way to reduce avoidable trouble before departure.
