should be checked at least once a month, and once prior
to each long-distance journey.

Driving Style

Excessively harsh acceleration and braking whilst cornering
will reduce tyre life.

Wheel Balance

Shaking or vibration of the vehicle or steering mechanism
can indicate out of balance wheels. It is important to rectify
this quickly as to prevent wear on steering and suspension
components and shorten tyre life.

Wheel Alignment

Incorrect wheel alignment can cause excessive tyre wear
and affect vehicle safety. If the tyres show signs of abnormal
wear seek advice from an MG Authorised repairer.

Caring for Your Tyres

DEFECTIVE TYRES ARE DANGEROUS!
DO NOT drive if any tyre is damaged, is
excessively worn, or is inflated to an incorrect
pressure.
Always drive with consideration for the condition of the
tyres, and regularly inspect the tread and side walls for any
sign of distortion (bulges), cuts or wear.
Note: If possible, protect tyres from contamination by
oil, grease and fuel.

Tyre Pressures

Before a long distance journey, the tyre
pressure must be checked.
Check the pressures (including the spare wheel) at least
every month, when the tyres are cold.
If it is necessary to check the tyres when they are warm,
you should expect the pressures to have increased by 0.3
to 0.4 bar (4.35 to 5.8 psi). In this circumstance, NEVER let
