Troubleshooting
Uneven tire wear
Check tire pressure regularly and ensure it is set to the manufacturer's recommended PSI. Have your wheel alignment and tire balance checked by a professional.
Increased road noise
Ensure tires are properly balanced. Inspect for any foreign objects lodged in the tread. If the noise persists, it may indicate wear patterns or an issue with the tire itself.
Reduced traction in wet conditions
Verify tire pressure and tread depth. Ensure tires are not nearing the end of their tread life. For consistently poor wet performance, consider tires with tread patterns designed for enhanced wet grip.
Vibrations while driving
Have the tires professionally balanced. Check for any damage or bulges on the tire sidewall. Ensure wheels are properly mounted.
