Troubleshooting
Tire is not holding air pressure.
Check for punctures, damage to the valve stem, or a faulty bead seal. Have the tire inspected by a professional.
Uneven tire wear.
Verify wheel alignment and tire balance. Ensure proper tire rotation schedule is followed. Check for under or over-inflation.
Increased road noise.
Tire wear patterns can affect noise. Ensure proper inflation and rotation. If noise is excessive and new, consult a tire professional for inspection.
Reduced fuel efficiency.
Check tire pressure; under-inflated tires significantly increase fuel consumption. Ensure proper tire rotation and alignment.
