Tyre
Overview
• New tyres may not have the best adhesive
ability at the beginning. Therefore, driving
your vehicle at moderate speed and in a
prudent way at the first 500 km/h, which
is also beneficial to the service life of the
tyres.
• Regularly check tyres for signs of damage.
DO NOT remove foreign objects such as
screws or nails from the tyre. If a tyre
shows any signs of damage, please ensure
it is inspected by a reputable tyre fitter
for advice.
• The valve dust cap must be fitted to
prevent dust from entering the valve.
• If the tyre is to be removed, always mark
the tyre/wheel orientation to ensure
correct reinstallation.
• Store the removed wheel or tyre in a
cool, dry and dark place.
The damage of a tyre or rim may happen
unnoticed. If abnormal vibration or deviation
is experienced, that means the tyre may have
been damaged. If you suspect that a tyre is
damaged, please slow down immediately,
and stop your vehicle to check the tyre for
damage. If you can’t see the damage from the
outside, continue driving the vehicle slowly
to the nearest MG Authorised Repairer for
inspection and service.
Tyre Life
Correct tyre pressures and moderate driving
style can extend tyre life. Recommendations:
• Check the tyre pressures at least once a
month, it should be carried out when the
tyre is cold;
• Avoid cornering at excessive speeds;
• Check tyres frequently for abnormal
wear;
• When the vehicle is to be parked for a
long time, the vehicle should be moved
at least once every two weeks to prevent
permanent deformation of the tyres due
to long-term stress.
The following factors affect the tyre life:
Tyre Pressure
Incorrect pressure will cause the abnormal
wear of the tyre, greatly shorten the service
life, and have an adverse effect on the driving
characteristics of the vehicle.
Driving Style
Excessively harsh acceleration and braking
whilst cornering will reduce tyre life.
