Tire Pressures
Tire Information
Make sure that correct tire pressures are carefully maintained.
Road holding, steering, braking and tire wear are especially
vulnerable to incorrect tire pressures.
Tires of the correct type, manufacturer and dimensions, with
correct cold inflation pressures are an integral part of every
vehicle’s design. Regular maintenance of tires contributes not
only to safety, but to the designed function of the vehicle.
Check tire pressures regularly and before starting any journey,
and adjust accordingly.
Road holding, steering and braking are especially vulnerable to
incorrectly pressurized, badly installed or worn tires.
Tire pressures increase slightly when the tires are hot. For an
accurate reading, tire pressures should be checked when the tires
are cold. After adjusting the tire pressures, make sure that the
valve caps are securely replaced to provide an additional air seal
and to prevent the ingress of dirt.
Tires of the correct size and type, but made by different
manufacturers can have widely varying characteristics.
Damage
Because of the high performance potential of this vehicle,
Aston Martin strongly recommend replacement of any damaged
or worn tire.
Wheel Bolt Torque
For wheel bolt torque (Refer to ’Wheel Bolt Torque’, page
11.59).
Tires should be examined at regular intervals for wear and
damage. Inspect the tire treads and sidewalls for damage, i.e.
bulges in the tread or the sidewalls, cracks in the tread groove and
separation in the tread or the sidewalls. If damage is observed or
suspected have the tire inspected by a tire professional.
Wheel Alignment
For the most up to date wheel alignment values, contact your
Aston Martin dealer
Stones or other objects which have become lodged in the tire
treads should be carefully removed.
