Troubleshooting
Increased road noise
Ensure tires are properly inflated and check for any uneven wear patterns. Road noise can also be influenced by road surface conditions.
Reduced fuel efficiency or EV range
Verify tire pressure is at the recommended level. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the tyre tread. Ensure the tyres are not significantly underinflated.
Vibration or shaking while driving
The tyres may require balancing. Consult a professional tyre service to have them balanced. Also, check for any damage to the tyre sidewall or tread.
Poor traction in wet conditions
This is unlikely given the tyre's design, but ensure tire pressure is correct and check tread depth. Significant wear can reduce wet grip.
