Maintaining Your McLaren
Wheels and Tyres
6.32
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. Each wheel has
a tyre pressure sensor connected to
the tyre valve. In order to avoid
damage to the sensor, the tyres must
be replaced using the correct
procedure.
WARNING: Tyre 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 tyres. Reduce your speed and
drive with greater care.
NOTE: If tread wear is uneven across
the tyre, or becomes excessive, the
wheel alignment should be checked.
Regularly check the pressure of all your tyres
and correct the pressure as necessary, see
Tyre pressures, page 7.8.
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
tyres 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 tyres could be damaged.
