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

Running-In New Tyres
When new tyres have been installed, speed should be
limited, particularly during the first 80 km or so of
driving. Fast cornering, hard braking, and harsh
acceleration should also be avoided during this period.
Tread Wear Marks
Tread wear marks (A) are
incorporated into the
construction of all tyres.
These marks are integral
moulded ribs spaced at
regular intervals around
the circumference of the
tyre and extend across
the full width of the tread, in all primary grooves.
When a tyre has worn causing one or more of the
marks to be flush with the outer face of the tread the
tyre has reached its wear limit. It then becomes illegal
in certain countries and must be replaced.

Winter Tyres

The tyres installed as original equipment are designed
with a rubber compound, tread pattern and width
specially suited for high speeds in normal road
conditions, but they are less suitable during extremes
of low temperatures, snow and ice. The use of winter
tyres will considerably improve handling during these
conditions.
Only use Aston Martin approved winter tyres.
Warning: Maximum speed with winter tyres is
270 km/h.
Winter tyres must be used in vehicle sets, that is,
installed on all four wheels. Four special wheel rims
and winter tyres are required for severe weather
(Refer to 'Specifications', page 9.1)
driving
exceed the tyre speed rating when using winter tyres.
