Troubleshooting

Tyre does not seat properly on the rim

Ensure the rim is clean and free of debris. Use a tire lubricant. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician as the rim or tyre may be incompatible or damaged.

Premature wear

Check tyre pressure is at the recommended level. Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking. Ensure the load limit is not exceeded. Wheel alignment may also need to be checked by a professional.
