Maintenance and Technical Data
Tyre Information
Tyres of the correct type, manufacturer and dimensions, with
correct cold inflation pressures are an integral part of every
vehicle’s design. Regular maintenance of tyres contributes not
only to safety, but to the designed function of the vehicle.
Road holding, steering and braking are especially vulnerable to
incorrectly pressurised, badly installed or worn tyres.
Tyres of the correct size and type, but made by different
manufacturers can have widely varying characteristics.
Damage
Because of the high performance potential of this vehicle,
Aston Martin strongly recommend replacement of any damaged
or worn tyre.
Tyres should be examined at regular intervals for wear and
damage. Inspect the tyre treads and sidewalls for damage, i.e.
bulges in the tread or the sidewalls, cracks in the tread groove and
separation in the tread or the sidewalls. If damage is observed or
suspected have the tyre inspected by a tyre professional.
Stones or other objects which have become lodged in the tyre
treads should be carefully removed.
Flat Spots
It is a characteristic of high performance tyres that temporary ’flat
spots’ may develop if the vehicle is left standing in high or low
ambient temperatures for any length of time.
These ’flat spots’ will manifest themselves as minor vibrations
when the vehicle is first driven from cold. As the tyres warm up
to operating temperature, normal tyre shape should be restored
and the vibrations cease. If vibrations persist, consult your
Aston Martin Dealer.
Age
Local regulations on tyre life may apply.
Tyres degrade over time, even when they are not being used. It
is recommended that tyres generally be replaced after six years of
normal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high
loading conditions can accelerate the aging process.
New Tyres
Each wheel and tyre unit must be balanced dynamically and
measured for Radial Force Variation (RFV) to make sure of
efficient steering, optimum tyre wear and maximum ride
comfort. Because of the potentially high speeds, it is essential that
wheel balancing is carried out when new tyres are installed.
Contact your Aston Martin Dealer for more information.
