THE CAR, FITTED WITH THIS TIRE AND WHEEL CONFIGURATION IS UNSAFE. YOU NEED TO DO A STUDY OF TIRE FAILURE IN THIS YEAR CAR WITH THOSE WHEELS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT SINCE THEY MAKE THEIR MONEY FIXING FLATS THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. I REPORTED IT TO MASERATI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE DEALERS REPORT THIS AS A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANY TYPES OF CARS FOR OVER 38 YEARS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A HIGHLY ABNORMAL SITUATION. I HAVE NAMES OF OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND CAN ATTEST TO THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. *TR
