Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the K117 is installed by a certified technician who can perform a professional wheel alignment. Proper alignment is critical to maximize the lifespan of the performance tread compound. Maintain tire pressure according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendation found on the door jamb placard, rather than the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall. Regularly inspect the tread for signs of uneven wear, which can indicate an alignment or balancing issue. To promote even wear, rotate your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. Avoid exposure to extreme cold and winter precipitation, as the silica compound is not formulated for sub-zero temperatures.
