MAINTENANCE
Tyres
Overview
• Take extra care when using new tyres for the first 300
miles (500 kilometres).
• Avoid excessive cornering at speed.
• Slow down when passing through road shoulder or a
similar section, and allow the wheels to go through the
shoulder at the right angle as far as possible.
• Regularly check the damage of tyres (stabs, scratches,
cracks and pits) and remove any foreign objects from
the tread.
• Prevent the tyre from contacting oil, grease and fuel.
• Ensure valve caps are always fitted.
• If the tyre is to be removed always mark the tyre/wheel
orientation to ensure correct reinstallation.
• The wheels or tyres that have been disassembled should
be kept in a cool, dry and light-free place.
New Tyres
New tyres may not have the best adhesive ability at the
beginning. Therefore, driving your vehicle at moderate
speed and in a prudent way at the first 300 miles (500
kilometres), which is also beneficial to the service life of
the tyres.
The damage of tyre or rim may happen unnoticed. If
abnormal vibration or handling is experienced, that means
the tyre or rim may have been damaged. Please slow down
and park your vehicle in absolute safety, then check the
tyre and rim. If you can't see the damage from the outside,
you should continue to drive with low speed and go to the
nearest MG Authorised Repairer for inspection.
Directional Tyres
Directional tyres are marked with ‘direction of rotation'
(DOR).
To maintain handling characteristics, tyre
performance, low road noise and extend tyre life, tyres
must always be fitted with indication arrow showing the
correct ‘DOR'.
Tyre Life
Correct tyre pressure and moderate driving style can
extend tyre life.
