MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN
WHEELS AND TYRES
190
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or too
low can:
create a risk of tyre failure with resultant
accidents, causing injury or death;
shorten the life of the tyres;
cause increased tyre damage;
have a negative effect on handling
characteristics (e.g. by causing
aquaplaning).
ENVIRONMENTAL: Check tyre pressures
at least every 14 days.
Interchanging wheels
NOTE: Only approved wheels with winter
tyres can be fitted to your McLaren as
alternatives
