Tyres

Overview

• Take extra care when using new tyres for the first
300miles.
• Avoid excessive cornering at speed.
• Regularly check tyres for signs of damage. DO NOT
remove foreign objects such as screws or nails from the
tyre. If a tyre shows any signs of damage please ensure
it is inspected by a reputable tyre fitter for advice.
• Prevent tyres coming into contact with any chemicals
such as oil, grease or fuel.
• Ensure valve caps are always fitted.
• If the tyre is to be removed always mark the tyre/wheel
orientation to ensure correct refitment.
New Tyres
New tyres may not have the same adhesion properties of
the old tyres, please take extra care for 300miles. This
action could benefit tyre life.
The damage of a tyre or rim may happen unnoticed. If
abnormal vibration or handling is experienced, that means
MAINTENANCE
the tyre or rim may have been damaged. Please slow down
and park your vehicle in a suitable, safe location, then check
the tyre and rim. If you can't see the damage from the
outside continue to drive the vehicle slowly to a reputable
tyre fitter or MG Authorised Repairer for inspection and
advice.
Directional Tyres
Directional tyres are marked with 'direction of rotation'
(DOR). To maintain handling characteristics,
performance, low road noise and extend tyre life, tyres
must always be fitted with indication arrow showing the
correct 'DOR'.
Tyre Life
Correct tyre pressures and moderate driving style can
extend tyre life. Recommendations:
• If the vehicle is to be stored for a lengthy time, please
move your vehicle at least once every two weeks to
'rotate the tyres'.
• Tyre pressures should be checked monthly when the
tyres are cold.
