Maintaining Your McLaren
Wheels and Tires
5.34
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.
Inspecting wheels and tires
At least every 14 days, check the tires for
cuts, 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.
Driving precautions
When parking your McLaren, ensure that the
tires do not contact the kerb or other
obstacles. If it is necessary to drive over
kerbs, speed humps or potholes, drive slowly
and approach the obstacle at a shallow angle
or the tires could be damaged.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteristics,
e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate
that the tires or wheels are damaged. If you
