Troubleshooting
Wheel wobbles during operation
Check that the wheel is securely fastened to the hub with properly tightened lug nuts. Ensure the hub itself is not damaged or warped.
Tyre pressure is difficult to maintain
Inspect the tyre and rim for leaks. Check the valve stem for damage or proper seating. Look for any punctures in the tyre tread.
Poor traction on slick surfaces
Ensure tyres are inflated to the correct 5psi. Clean mud or debris from the tread pattern. For significantly slick conditions, consider ground conditions and the limitations of any tyre tread.
Excessive vibration
Verify the wheel is balanced. While these wheels are not dynamically balanced from the factory, significant imbalance could indicate a bent rim or uneven tyre wear. Check for damage to the rim.
