My GS ate up the front tires in less than 4k miles, but on the inside!
Drive it hard and rear tires are evenly worn, but fronts are not bad, only the first 1" or so are worn badly on the inside shoulder!?

I don't believe there is a "stock" alignment for these. they are all done with shims and often two of the same cars are different.
Don't go to the dealer, they will kill you with price. you will have to go to a shop that has access to shims for ferrari/masi and all they do is alighnments. should not be more than $180.00 It is a very simple job that the dealer blows WAY out of proportion. I lowered my car 1.5/2 and it took @45 minutes to fully allign it.
Probably just needs a shim in the upper control arm up front or one removed in the lower.
check your tire pressures to
good luck

Alignment is setting: Caster, Camber and Toe in, to a series of specifications.mwelliott said:I had a couple of new tyres on my coupe and asked tyre depot to check the tracking. They showed me that their computer had the full set of settings for the Coupe & I watched them every step of the way.
But when I got it out, it drove badly and the front end felt unstable, constant feeling that I was going to lose control over every bump. It was safe as I did some longish runs but then took it into a dealer for something else but got them to check wheel alignment. They said it was out by a mile - cost me £450 to get it put right and now it drives like a dream!
They are directional but symmetrical. (same left and right)Yves said:flipping tires is only possible if they are same left and right, but many high performance tires have an outside and inside and a rotating sense. One needs to check if tires are such, then flipping is not possible - actually would be very dangerous.
Sorry, no experience with them.I just picked up front and rear factory alignment specs from the dealer yesterday. I can PM once I scan tomorrow.
Glenn, I was going to go back to TruLine with the specs to set something right I think got lost the last time the car went in for a tire change. Any experience with them on Maserati alignment? Usually had very good experiences but this is the 3rd time in on this car......![]()
