FAQs
What types of vehicles is the Kpatos FM518 suitable for?
The Kpatos FM518 is designed for a range of vehicles including passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs that require the specified tire size and load/speed rating.
How often should I check my tire pressure?
It is recommended to check your tire pressure at least once a month and before any long journeys to ensure optimal performance and safety.
What does the '99V' rating mean on the tire?
The '99' is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tire can carry. 'V' is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can safely carry a load.
How long do Kpatos tires typically last?

Where can I find the correct tire pressure for my vehicle?
The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle can typically be found on a sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb, in the glove compartment, or in your vehicle's owner's manual.
Is this tire suitable for all weather conditions?
The Kpatos FM518 is designed for general driving conditions and offers balanced performance. For extreme weather, specific winter or summer tires may be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tire wear
Check wheel alignment and tire pressure. Rotate tires regularly and ensure proper balancing.
Tire vibration or shaking
Ensure tires are properly balanced. Check for any damage or deformities on the tire sidewall or tread.
Reduced fuel efficiency
Verify that tire pressure is at the recommended level. Significant underinflation can increase rolling resistance.
