Can this tyre be used on passenger cars?
This tyre is specifically designed for vans and commercial vehicles. While the size may match some passenger cars, its construction and performance characteristics are optimized for heavier loads and commercial use.
How do I check if the tyre pressure is correct?
Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb for the recommended tyre pressure. Check the pressure when the tyres are cold using a reliable gauge.
What does the '97T' rating mean?
The '97' is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tyre can support. The 'T' is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tyre can sustain under its load conditions. Always ensure these ratings meet your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
Troubleshooting
Reduced wet weather grip
Ensure tyre pressure is correct and that the tread depth is within legal limits. Check for any embedded objects in the tread.
Uneven tyre wear
Check wheel alignment and tyre rotation schedule. Ensure the tyre is properly balanced.
Increased road noise
Verify correct tyre pressure. Road noise can also be affected by road surface texture and vehicle load; ensure even wear patterns.
Sidewall damage detected
Cease operation immediately and have the tyre inspected and replaced by a professional if any cuts, bulges, or significant abrasions are found on the sidewall.
