FAQs
What does the 91H rating mean?
The 91 indicates the load index, meaning each tire can support 1,356 lbs, and the H represents a speed rating of up to 130 mph.
Are these tires suitable for winter driving?
While they offer excellent grip in wet conditions, they are summer/all-season tires and are not specifically designed for heavy snow or ice.
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 road trips.
Can I mix these with other tire brands?
For safety and balanced handling, it is best to use a matching set of tires on all four wheels.
Does the low rolling resistance affect handling?
The tire is designed to balance fuel efficiency with safe handling; however, it is optimized for daily driving comfort rather than sports car precision.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle pulling to one side
Check your tire pressure first; if pressures are correct, have your vehicle's wheel alignment checked by a professional.
