MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN
HEELS AND TIRES
by McLaren are to be fitted to the
vehicle.
WARNING: The tires must be
mounted according to the labeling on
the tire wall. The benefits of
asymmetric tires will only be
available if the tires are fitted
correctly.
punctures, tears, bumps, deformation and
cracks. Check wheels for severe corrosion.
Damaged wheels could cause a loss of tire
pressure.
Regularly check the tire tread depth and the
condition of the tread across the whole width
of the tire. Turn the front wheels to full lock in
order to inspect the inner tread.
When the tread is worn to 1.6 mm, the wear
indicators appear on the surface of the tread
pattern, producing a continuous band of
rubber across the width of the tire. Tires must
be replaced as soon as the wear indicator
becomes visible, or sooner if legislation
dictates replacement at a greater tread depth.
NOTE: It is recommended that you
always have your tires replaced by your
McLaren Retailer. Each wheel has a tire
pressure sensor connected to the tire
valve. In order to avoid damage to the
sensor, the tires must be replaced using
the correct procedure.
WARNING: Tire grip decreases rapidly
on wet or icy roads, particularly when
the tread depth is close to the
minimum. You could lose control of
the vehicle and cause an accident due
to the reduced grip of the tires.
Reduce your speed and drive with
greater care.
NOTE: If tread wear is uneven across the
tire, or becomes excessive, the wheel
alignment should be checked.
Regularly check the pressure of all your tires
and correct the pressure as necessary, see
Tire pressures, page 5.35.
All wheels must have a valve cap fitted to
protect the valve against dirt and moisture.
