Troubleshooting
Uneven tire wear
Check wheel alignment and tire pressure. Consider rotating the tires if wear is consistent across the set.
Vibrations or shaking while driving
Ensure tires are properly balanced. If the issue persists, check for tire damage or a bent wheel rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The Kpatos FM601 XL is designed for passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs. Always ensure the tire size and load rating match your vehicle's specifications as listed in your owner's manual or on the vehicle's doorjamb sticker. The 'XL' designation specifically means it supports higher load capacities, so confirm this is appropriate for your vehicle's needs.

Care: To maximize the lifespan and performance of your Kpatos FM601 XL tires:
- Maintain Proper Inflation: Check tire pressure regularly (at least monthly) and before long trips. Use the pressure recommended for your vehicle, not the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
- Regular Rotation: Rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles to ensure even wear.
- Wheel Alignment: Have your wheel alignment checked periodically, especially if you notice uneven tire wear or if the vehicle pulls to one side.
- Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect tires for any signs of damage, such as cuts, bulges, or embedded objects.
- Driving Habits: Avoid aggressive acceleration, hard braking, and sharp turns, which can accelerate tire wear.
