MAINTENANCE
• Avoid cornering at excessive speeds.
• Regularly check tyres for abnormal wear patterns.
The following factors affect the tyre life:
Tyre Pressures
Incorrect tyre pressures can result in poor driving
characteristics and a shortened tyre life. Tyre pressures
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
Every new vehicle leaves the factory having had the wheels
dynamically balanced. Out of balance wheels may be due
to many factors. If wheels are out of balance, shaking or
vibration of the steering mechanism may occur and the
tyres may start to wear excessively. It is important to
restore wheel balance as quick as possible. Each wheel

should be rebalanced after installing a new tyre or having a
tyre repair.
Wheel Alignment
Incorrect wheel alignment can cause excessive tyre wear
and affect vehicle safety. If the tyres show signs of abnormal
wear, check the wheel alignment and seek advice from an
MG Authorised repairer.
