in axle pairs and ensure the tires are
fitted as specified. With worn tires,
the driving stability of the vehicle will
be adversely affected, especially
when driving at high speeds.
Consult your McLaren Retailer if you
have had new tires fitted for
information on the appropriate
bedding in time based on your driving
style.
• With new tires, avoid high speed
cornering and excess speed.
•
Only have wheels and tires of the
same type and make fitted.
•
Never use a tire which has been
punctured and then repaired.
•
Only have tires of the correct size
fitted.
•
Tires degrade over time due to the
effects of ultraviolet light, extreme
temperatures, high loads, and
environmental conditions. It is
recommended that tires are replaced
every six years, or sooner if required.
McLaren recommends that you only use
Pirelli summer or winter tires, See Wheel and
tire sizes, page 6.10.
These tires provide the best possible
performance in conjunction with the safety
systems on your vehicle and have been
specifically approved by McLaren.
McLaren cannot accept any responsibility for
damage that may result from use of other
tires and wheels. Further information about
wheels and tires can be obtained from your
McLaren Retailer.
WARNING: Using tires other than
those which have been
recommended by McLaren, may
contact the body work and adversely
affect the handling. This may cause
loss of vehicle control, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
Noise levels and fuel consumption
may also be adversely affected. In
addition, when driving with a load or
when using snow traction devices,
they could cause contact between the
bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tires or
the vehicle.
NOTE: Retreaded tires must not be used.
Do not fit used tires if you have no
information about their previous usage.
NOTE: Modification to the brake system
and wheels is not permitted, nor is the
use of spacer plates or brake dust
shields. Any such modifications will
invalidate the vehicle warranty on the
area modified.
NOTE: A wheel change must be carried
out at your McLaren Retailer. The vehicle
could be damaged if it is jacked up
incorrectly
NOTE: Store tires in a cool, dry place,
preferably in the dark. Protect the tires
from oil, grease and petrol.
