Asymmetric tyres
Asymmetric tyres have a tread pattern that is
different from one side of the tread to the other.
This combination of tread offers better grip in
both wet and dry conditions.
The outer tread features a larger stiffer tread
pattern that aids with cornering stability. The
inner tread pattern aids stability in wet
conditions. A central groove in the tyre aids
straight line stability.
WARNING: Only tyres recommended
by McLaren are to be fitted to the
vehicle.
WARNING: The tyres must be
mounted according to the labelling
on the tyre wall. The benefits of
asymmetric tyres will only be
available if the tyres are fitted
correctly.
Inspecting wheels and tyres
At least every 7 days, check the tyres for cuts,
punctures, tears, bumps, deformation and cracks.
Check wheels for severe corrosion. Damaged
wheels could cause a loss of tyre pressure.
Regularly check the tyre tread depth and the
condition of the tread across the whole width of
the tyre. 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 tyre. Tyres 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 tyres replaced by your
McLaren retailer.
