Troubleshooting

Increased road noise over time

Ensure tires are properly rotated and balanced. Check for any debris lodged in the tread grooves. Verify that tire pressure is maintained at the recommended level.

Uneven tire wear

Check tire pressure regularly. Have wheel alignment and balancing services performed by a professional. Ensure tires are rotated according to the recommended schedule.

Reduced grip in wet conditions

Verify tire pressure is correct. Check tread depth for excessive wear. Ensure no foreign objects are embedded in the tread that could impede water dispersal.

Shorter than expected tread life

Confirm proper tire inflation and regular rotation. Avoid aggressive driving habits such as hard acceleration and braking. Ensure vehicle alignment is within specifications.
