The Maserati Levante uses Pirelli tires across all trim levels — a partnership that reflects Maserati's Italian heritage and Pirelli's long-standing position as the performance tire of choice for Italian automakers. The Levante tire requirements are demanding: a heavy, fast SUV with sport-tuned suspension that rewards precise tire behavior.
Stock Tire Sizes by Trim
Maserati Levante base and S: 265/50R19 front, 295/45R19 rear on standard 19-inch staggered wheels
Maserati Levante Sport and S Q4 GranSport: 265/45R20 front, 295/40R20 rear on 20-inch staggered wheels
Maserati Levante GTS and Trofeo: 265/40R21 front, 295/35R21 rear on 21-inch wheels, with a 265/35R22 front / 295/30R22 rear option available on both trims.
Most Levante trims use a staggered fitment — wider rear tires than fronts — so front and rear tires cannot be cross-rotated and should be replaced in axle pairs.
Top Tire Picks for the Maserati Levante
Pirelli P Zero: the factory OEM tire across all Levante trim levels. Maserati and Pirelli have a deep engineering partnership, and the P Zero is specifically tuned to the Levante suspension and chassis targets. For a like-for-like OEM replacement, this is the correct choice — particularly on GTS and Trofeo trims where the chassis balance is most sensitive.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S: the performance upgrade over the OEM Pirelli. Outstanding dry and wet grip, excellent steering feedback, and long treadwear for a max-performance tire. The best choice if you drive the Levante with intent.
Continental SportContact 6: strong all-around performer with excellent wet grip and a refined ride character that suits the Levante luxury positioning. An excellent choice for drivers who prioritize the luxury-touring side of the Levante character.
Bridgestone Potenza Sport: track-capable daily tire with strong dry grip and adequate wet performance. Available in all three Levante sizes. A good value option for enthusiast Levante owners on the GTS and Trofeo.
Michelin CrossClimate 2: the best all-weather option for Levante owners who want year-round capability. Available in 265/50R19 and 265/45R20 front sizes (rear sizing may require a separate order). Not available in the GTS/Trofeo 265/40R21 front / 295/35R21 rear staggered setup — those trims should use the OEM summer Pirelli for optimal performance.

What to Know About Maserati Levante Tire Replacement
Pirelli partnership: Maserati uses Pirelli almost exclusively for OEM fitment. Pirelli tires for the Levante sometimes carry specific Maserati application markings. Replacement with the correct Pirelli P Zero model and specification is the safest OEM path.
Weight and load: the Levante weighs approximately 4,800 to 5,000 lbs depending on trim and drivetrain. Load index compliance is critical. Never install a tire with a lower load index than the OEM specification.
GTS and Trofeo performance: the 580 hp Trofeo trim uses the Levante's widest staggered fitment, 265/40R21 front / 295/35R21 rear (22-inch options go up to 265/35R22 / 295/30R22). This size is available in serious performance options (Michelin PS4S, Continental SC6) for owners who want to upgrade from the OEM P Zero.
Frequently asked
What tires come stock on the Maserati Levante?
All Levante trims use Pirelli OEM tires in a staggered fitment. The base and S use Pirelli P Zero in 265/50R19 front / 295/45R19 rear. The Sport and Q4 GranSport use Pirelli P Zero in 265/45R20 front / 295/40R20 rear. The GTS and Trofeo use Pirelli P Zero in 265/40R21 front / 295/35R21 rear. The specific P Zero model may vary by model year and market.
Can I replace Maserati Levante tires with non-Pirelli tires?
Yes. Any tire meeting the correct size, load index, and speed rating is a valid replacement. Michelin, Continental, and Bridgestone all offer excellent options in Levante sizes. The Pirelli partnership is a heritage and OEM preference, not a technical requirement. Many owners upgrade to Michelin PS4S for improved performance.
What tire size does the Maserati Levante GTS use?
The Levante GTS and Trofeo use a staggered Pirelli P Zero setup on 21-inch wheels: 265/40R21 front, 295/35R21 rear.
How do I know when my Levante needs new tires?
On a heavy, powerful SUV like this, the rear tires wear faster, so check them on their own, and if it's a staggered setup, fronts and rears wear at different rates. Summer performance tires also harden as they age, so a set that's several years old can be done even with tread left. Watch for uneven wear, cracking, and any vibration, and don't put off a set that's clearly past it.
Do I have to replace all four tires on my Levante at once?
Not necessarily. If it's a staggered fitment, fronts and rears are different sizes and get replaced as axle pairs anyway. What matters is keeping left and right matched on each axle and staying within the load and speed ratings the car calls for. With all-wheel drive in the mix, big tread-depth differences aren't ideal, so a shop should measure all four before you replace just two.
