Maintaining Your McLaren
Wheels and Tyres
NOTE: It is recommended that you
always have your tyres replaced by your
McLaren retailer. Each wheel has a tyre
pressure sensor connected to the tyre
valve. In order to avoid damage to the
sensor, the tyres must be replaced
using the correct procedure.
WARNING: Tyre grip decreases rapidly
on wet or icy roads, particularly when
the tread depth is close to the
minimum. You could lose control of
the vehicle and cause an accident due
to the reduced grip of the tyres.
Reduce your speed and drive with
greater care.
NOTE: If tread wear is uneven across
the tyre, or becomes excessive, the
wheel alignment should be checked.
Regularly check the pressure of all your tyres
and correct the pressure as necessary, see Cold
tyre inflation pressures, page 7.13.
All wheels must have a valve cap fitted to protect
the valve against dirt and moisture.

Driving precautions
When parking your McLaren, ensure that the
tyres do not contact the kerb or other obstacles.
If it is necessary to drive over kerbs, speed humps
or potholes, drive slowly and approach the
obstacle at a shallow angle or the tyres could be
damaged.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pulling
to one side. This may indicate that the tyres or
wheels are damaged. If you experience anything
unusual, reduce your speed and stop the vehicle
as soon as safety permits to check the tyres and
wheels for damage. If you find no signs of
damage, have the tyres and wheels inspected
at your McLaren retailer.
Tyre pressures
WARNING: Tyre pressure that is too
high or too low has a negative effect
on the vehicle's active safety, this
could lead to an accident. Frequently
check the pressure of all tyres,
particularly prior to long trips, and
correct the pressure as necessary.
WARNING: If the pressure in a tyre
drops repeatedly, inspect the tyre for
foreign objects or signs of punctures,
check the valve for air leaks.
For the tyre pressures for various operating
conditions, see Cold tyre inflation pressures,
page 7.13. They are also printed on a label
attached to the fuel filler flap.
If the vehicle is to be driven at high speeds, the
tyre pressure must be checked, and if necessary
adjusted.
NOTE: In some markets, the tyre
pressure label is attached to the base
of the driver's side door.
