Maserati relies on Continental’s original equipment expertise for its Grecale model. The luxury SUV is fitted ex works with tyres from the CrossContact series. This has been particularly developed for good handling qualities on- and off-road. Continental has received worldwide original equipment approval for the CrossContact LX Sport in 19 inches and the CrossContact RX in 21 inches. Also approved for the Maserati Grecale is the EcoContact 6 in 20 inches. The tyre is designed for energy-saving and noise-optimised driving, making it especially suitable for the hybrid version of the SUV.
Vehicles like the Maserati Grecale place high demands on tyres with their high kerb weight, high performance, and rapid acceleration. With the CrossContact series, Continental’s developers have designed tyres that offer short braking distances on dry and wet roads, A reinforced sidewall protects against damage, for example from stone chips, which also make the tyres ideal for driving on light terrain. The adapted tread pattern ensures low rolling resistance, whilst the even sipe arrangement on the tread reduces rolling noise.
EcoContact 6 for energy-saving driving – hybrid variants particularly benefit
The special rubber compound of the EcoContact 6 reduces energy absorption during driving and lowers friction and rolling resistance. This means lower energy consumption in cars with internal combustion engines and longer ranges in electric vehicles. In addition to short braking distances, the premium tyre also offers reliable grip on dry and wet roads and very good cornering stability even at high speeds. The optimised tread design also reduces the tyre’s rolling noise.
These tyre lines and sizes are approved for the Maserati Grecale in numerous countries:
