Protection antipincement

AVERTISSEMENT : Have worn tyres replaced in axle pairs and ensure the tyres are fitted as specified. With worn tyres, the driving stability of the vehicle will be adversely affected, especially when driving at high speeds.

Consult your McLaren retailer if you have had new tyres fitted for information on the appropriate bedding in time based on your driving style.

• With new tyres, avoid high speed cornering and excess speed.
• Only have wheels and tyres of the same type and make fitted.
• Never use a tyre which has been punctured and then repaired.
• Only have tyres of the correct size fitted.
• Tyres degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that tyres are replaced every 6 years, or sooner if required.

McLaren recommend that you only use Pirelli summer or winter tyres, see Dimensions des roues et pneus, page 7.09.

These tyres provide the best possible performance in conjunction with the safety systems on your vehicle and have been specifically approved by McLaren.

McLaren cannot accept any responsibility for damage that may result from use of other tyres and wheels. Further information about wheels and tyres can be obtained from your McLaren retailer.

AVERTISSEMENT: Using tyres other than those which have been recommended by McLaren, may contact the body work and adversely affect the handling. This may cause loss of vehicle control, resulting in serious personal injury or death. Noise levels and fuel consumption may also be adversely affected. In addition, when driving with a load or when using snow traction devices, they could cause contact between the bodywork and axle components. This could result in damage to the tyres or the vehicle.

i REMARQUE: Retreaded tyres must not be used. Do not fit used tyres if you have no information about their previous usage.
i REMARQUE : Modification to the brake system and wheels is not permitted, nor is the use of spacer plates or brake dust shields. Any such modifications will invalidate the vehicle warranty on the area modified.
i REMARQUE: A wheel change must be carried out at your McLaren retailer. The vehicle could be damaged if it is jacked up incorrectly.
i REMARQUE: Store tyres in a cool, dry place, preferably in the dark. Protect the tyres from oil, grease and petrol.

1. Width of tyre in millimetres.
2. Tyre profile given as percentage of tyre width.
3. Indicates that the tyre is radial ply.
4. Indicates the diameter of the wheel rim in inches.

5. The numbers denote load index and the letter indicates the speed rating. 91 indicates a weight of 615 kg (1,350 lbs) and Y indicates speeds over 186 mph (300 km/h).

6. Displays the maximum load which can be carried by the tyre.

7. Treadwear grade number. The higher the figure the longer a tyre will last.
8. The alpha character denotes resistance to heat. An 'A' rated tyre offers most heat resistance.
9. Information about the manufacture of the tyre. Contains place and date of manufacture.

Tyres

AVERTISSEMENT: The tyres must be mounted according to the labelling on the tyre wall. The word 'OUTSIDE' must be on the outer edge of the tyre when it is fitted to the wheel or the stability of the vehicle will be adversely affected, especially at high speeds.

Asymmetric tyres

Asymmetric tyres have a tread pattern that is different from one side of the tread to the other. This combination of tread offers better grip in both wet and dry conditions.

The outer tread features a larger stiffer tread pattern that aids with cornering stability. The inner tread pattern aids stability in wet conditions. A central groove in the tyre aids straight line stability.

AVERTISSEMENT : Only tyres recommended by McLaren are to be fitted to the vehicle.

AVERTISSEMENT: The tyres must be mounted according to the labelling on the tyre wall. The benefits of asymmetric tyres will only be available if the tyres are fitted correctly.

Trofeo R tyres

The driver's skill level must be commensurate with the vehicle performance levels in the upper range limits due to increased safety risks.

i REMARQUE: Due to ultra high performance design and the particular manufacturing process of these tyres, they must always be replaced in axle sets (front and rear) regardless of wear or mileage. Failure to do so may have a negative affect on the handling characteristics of the vehicle.

The main features of the Trofeo R tyres are a reduced tread depth and a special tread pattern and carcass compared with other tyres.

AVERTISSEMENT: Risk of accident from worn tyres. Trofeo R tyres have a smaller tread depth, and thus can reach their wear limit sooner. It is important to check tyre wear frequently to avoid risk of serious personal injury or death from worn tyres.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risk of accident through loss of road surface contact, control over the vehicle and braking ability, leading to serious personal injury or death. The reduced tyre tread depth means that there is an increased risk of hydroplaning on wet roads. When driving on wet or mud-covered roads reduce speed significantly.
i REMARQUE : Notify anyone using your car of these characteristics and possible effects.

Inspecting wheels and tyres

At least every 7 days, check the tyres for cuts, punctures, tears, bumps, deformation and cracks. Check wheels for severe corrosion. Damaged wheels could cause a loss of tyre pressure.

Regularly check the tyre tread depth and the condition of the tread across the whole width of the tyre. Turn the front wheels to full lock in order to inspect the inner tread.

When the tread is worn to 1.6 mm, the wear indicators appear on the surface of the tread pattern, producing a continuous band of rubber across the width of the tyre. Tyres must be replaced as soon as the wear indicator becomes visible, or sooner if legislation dictates replacement at a greater tread depth.

i REMARQUE: 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.
AVERTISSEMENT : 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.
i REMARQUE: 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 Pression des pneus, page 7.10.

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

AVERTISSEMENT: 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.

AVERTISSEMENT: 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 Pression des pneus, page 7.10. 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.

i REMARQUE: In some markets, the tyre pressure label is attached to the base of the driver's side door.
i REMARQUE: Tyre pressures given for low loads are minimum values which offer optimum ride comfort. Increased pressures for higher loads will not adversely affect the running of the vehicle, but ride comfort will be impaired.

Check the pressures when the tyres are cold. If it is necessary to check the tyres when they are warm, pressures will be higher. Do not let air out of warm tyres to match the recommended cold tyre pressures.

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).

RESPECT DE L'ENVIRONNEMENT: Check tyre pressures at least every 7 days.

Interchanging wheels

AVERTISSEMENT : Only approved wheels with winter tyres can be fitted to your McLaren as alternatives.
