Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, this tyre should only be installed on vehicles compatible with the 125/80 R13 65M specification. It is recommended to have the tyres fitted and balanced by a professional technician to prevent uneven wear and vehicle vibrations. For maintenance, check your tyre pressure at least once a month using a reliable gauge, following the inflation levels recommended in your vehicle's owner manual. Regularly inspect the tread for embedded debris, such as stones or nails, and rotate your tyres every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to promote even tread wear and maximize the lifespan of the set.
