Maserati Levante Tires — Fitment by Year

The Maserati Levante is a performance-oriented luxury SUV that brings genuine sport-sedan dynamics to a mid-size SUV platform. Introduced for the 2017 model year, the Levante was Maserati's first SUV, built on a platform shared with other Fiat Chrysler group vehicles but tuned specifically for high-speed handling and road feel. For tire shoppers, this means the factory tire specifications are chosen with a strong bias toward dry and wet performance grip, low sidewall profiles, and precise steering response — characteristics that need to be preserved or intentionally modified when selecting replacements.

The 2017–2019 Levante was offered in multiple trim levels, including base, S, and GranSport variants, each potentially wearing different factory wheel and tire sizes. Typical configurations range from 18-inch to 21-inch wheel diameters across the model range, with corresponding low-profile tires. Because tire size is directly tied to trim level and optional wheel packages on this vehicle, you should verify your specific year and trim — and ideally check your door jamb sticker or owner's manual — before finalizing a tire order. Using the wrong size can affect speedometer accuracy, suspension clearance, and ride quality.

When replacing tires on the Levante, load index and speed rating are critical. This SUV is a heavier vehicle with substantial performance output, particularly in the S and GranSport trims, and running a tire with an insufficient load or speed rating is a safety concern. Factory fitments typically use high speed-rated tires (V, W, or Y ratings depending on the variant), and replacement tires should match or exceed those ratings. The Levante also uses a staggered fitment on certain trims, with wider tires on the rear axle than the front — confirm whether your vehicle is staggered before ordering a full set.

For seasonal tire strategy, the Levante's all-wheel-drive system improves traction but does not eliminate the handling degradation that comes with summer-only tires in cold or wet conditions. Owners in regions with significant winter weather should consider a dedicated winter tire set on a separate wheel set, as many factory-size summer performance tires are not cold-weather rated. All-season tires with a three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol offer a reasonable middle ground for mild winter climates. All-terrain tires are not a natural fit for this vehicle — the Levante is not designed for off-road use, and aggressive tread patterns would noticeably compromise ride quality and handling precision.

Sidewall profile matters on the Levante. Lower-profile tires enhance steering sharpness but transmit more road imperfections into the cabin — a relevant tradeoff on a vehicle whose buyers generally expect a refined ride. If you are considering moving to a slightly higher-profile tire for comfort, confirm that the overall diameter remains within a few percent of the OEM diameter to avoid calibration issues with the vehicle's speed sensors and stability control systems. Any deviation outside a small tolerance window can interfere with the Levante's driver assistance systems. When in doubt, cross-reference your selection against your exact VIN or door-jamb placard before purchasing.
