Tyres - Aston Martin One-77 2010 Owner's Manual

Tyres

Tyres of the correct type, manufacturer and
dimensions, with correct cold inflation pressures are an
integral part of every vehicle's design. Regular
maintenance of tyres contributes not only to safety, but
to the designed function of the vehicle.
Road holding, steering and braking are especially
vulnerable to incorrectly pressurised, badly installed or
worn tyres.
Tyres of the correct size and type, but of different make
have widely varying characteristics.
Only install tyres approved by Aston Martin.
Tyre Pressures
Make sure that correct tyre pressures are carefully
maintained. Road holding, steering, braking and tyre
wear are especially vulnerable to incorrect tyre
pressures.
Check tyre pressures regularly and before starting any
journey. Re-inflate any tyre with a low pressure at the
earliest opportunity.
Pressures increase slightly when the tyres are hot. For
an accurate reading, pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold. After adjusting the tyre
pressures, make sure that the valve caps are securely
replaced to provide an additional air seal and to
prevent the ingress of dirt.

Tyre Service
Front Tyres
The recommended front tyres for this vehicle are
symmetrical and directional (when installed on the
wheel, the front wheels can not be swapped on the
same axle). Make sure that the direction of rotation
arrow (on the tyre sidewall) shows the direction of tyre
rotation is forwards.
Rear Tyres
The recommended rear tyres for this vehicle are
asymmetrical and must be installed to the wheel with
the tyre mark 'Outside' on the outside of the wheel
rim.
The front and rear tyres are also of different sizes on the
front and rear axles, therefore complete wheels cannot
be swapped between axles.
Always take note of the position of the wheel on
the vehicle wheel hub. After a tyre change the wheel
and tyre must be installed to the same side on the
same axle as it was taken from.
The Aston Martin 10 spoke wheel is right and left
handed. Always install to the same side on the same
axle as it was taken from.
