Operation
Tyres and wheels
Modification work on the brake system
and wheels is not permitted, nor is the use
of spacer plates or brake dust shields. Any
such modifications would invalidate the ve-
hicle's general operating permit.
Notes on selecting, fitting and
replacing tyres
앫
With new tires, avoid high-speed cor-
nering for the first 100 miles (160 km).
Do not exceed a speed of 125 mph
(200 km/h).
앫 Only have tyres and wheels of the same
type and make fitted.
앫
Only have tyres of the correct size fit-
ted on the wheels.
앫 Replace the tyres after six years at the
latest, regardless of wear.
앫
Do not drive with tyres which have too
little tread depth as this significantly re-
duces the traction on wet roads (aqua-
planing).
!
A wheel change may only be carried out at
an SLR Service Centre. Otherwise, there is a
danger of damaging the vehicle by jacking it up
incorrectly.
Risk of accident
G
Have worn tyres replaced in pairs (front pair
or rear pair) and make sure the tyres rotate
in the direction specified (
컄
page 210). Oth-
erwise, the driving stability of the vehicle will
be adversely affected, especially when driv-
ing at high speeds.
!
Store tyres in a cool, dry place, preferably in
the dark. Protect the tyres from oil, grease and
petrol.
