Troubleshooting
Tire makes excessive noise
Check for uneven wear patterns, which may indicate an alignment issue. Ensure tires are properly balanced. Verify that the tire pressure is correct.
Vehicle pulls to one side
Check tire pressures on all four tires. Have the vehicle's wheel alignment inspected and adjusted by a professional.
Reduced performance in wet conditions
Ensure tires are inflated to the correct pressure. Inspect the tread for wear or damage. If the issue persists, it may indicate the limits of the tire's aquaplaning resistance in extreme conditions.
Uneven tire wear
Regularly rotate tires every 5,000-7,500 miles. Have the vehicle's wheel alignment and balancing checked by a professional.
