    “New†Tyres

    As a matter of fact I had a similar experience with The AA last year. The difficulty is the low demand for the MGT specification - they said.

    “New†Tyres

    I purchased two new rear winter tyres for my GTS from tyreleader.co.uk. They arrived promptly but I was disappointed to find that they were 30 months old. I questioned this and was referred to their terms and conditions which state that tyres manufactured in the last 36 months are considered...

    Granturismo S Tyre Choices?

    I have ordered the Maserati spec. Pirellis from the AA. I run winter tyres from November to March. To be honest, I have never had an issue with the PZeros. There was a debate here recently about the wear rates for these tyres. Mine have a tread wear rate of 220. Pirelli has supplied much softer...

    Granturismo S Tyre Choices?

    Thanks for that information. AA Tyres also supply the Pirellis for Maserati. I will probably go for those. Mobile fitting fronts £176, rears £213. I will check the dot and IP codes. Cheers, Russell

    Granturismo S Tyre Choices?

    I'm looking for new tyres and have had similar advice (probably from the same source) I am struggling to match front and rear sizes except for PZeros or Michelin Pilot Supersport. SC3 front only, SC5 rear only. I spoke to tyresonthedrive and was told they could not get the specific Maserati...

    Stradale wheels *SOLD* - brand new and unused

    No, the new owner wants a change from Tridents. If they don't work for me I will offer them to the forum at the same price plus transport plus the new tyres which I also need. If I keep them there will be a set of good Grigio Mercury Tridents for sale. It won't be before spring as I an running...

    Warranty thoughts

    I have had quotes from Warranty Wise and Warranty Direct. Both more expensive for 2 years than MD. MD £2300 the others £3000+ with limitations but with "wear and tear" included. Things like wheel bearings, steering rack etc. Needs further investigation. Russell

    Broken coil springs GTS

    Good news! The broken springs will be replaced under warranty. They arrived on Monday which is pretty good as the problem was identified on December 23rd. Thanks to Brian at Marshall, Peterborough. Russell

    What tool do I need? - potentially stupid question

    Is it for one of those neat Maserati hose clips? If so, a normal pair of carpenter's pincers will open and close it. Russell

    Broken coil springs GTS

    Thanks for the comments. I wouldn't normally consider lowering the car but the H&R springs seem not to be available as standard replacements. I really wanted a better quality spring but there seem to be few options. On the other hand, if the warranty covers the springs, I won't worry too much...

    Broken coil springs GTS

    If the failed springs are not covered by the warranty I might replace them with performance springs. H&R springs are available lowering the front by 15mm and the rear by 35mm. They cost about £400. FD springs are about £1000 !!!! Does anyone have experience with H&R or any comments about the...

    Broken coil springs GTS

    Both springs have fractured at the same place on the first (lower) coil so I noticed no difference in the ride. The car has only experienced two winters, both very mild with little salt used on the roads. Given the age and mileage of some GTs I would expect this to be more common. I will let you...
