Troubleshooting

Vehicle pulls to one side

Check tyre pressures. If pressures are correct, this may indicate an alignment issue. Have your vehicle's wheel alignment checked by a professional.

Increased road noise or vibration

Care: To maintain performance and maximize lifespan:

  • Regular Inspections: Check tyre pressure monthly and before long trips. Ensure it matches the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation (found in the owner's manual or doorjamb sticker).
  • Tread Depth: Monitor tread wear regularly. Replace tyres when the tread reaches the minimum legal limit (typically 2/32" or 1.6mm).
  • Rotation: Rotate your tyres every 5,000-8,000 miles to ensure even wear.
  • Alignment & Balancing: Have your wheel alignment and balancing checked periodically, especially if you notice uneven wear or the vehicle pulling to one side.
  • Cleaning: Clean tyres with mild soap and water. Avoid petroleum-based cleaners, which can damage the rubber.
