Troubleshooting

Reduced grip in wet conditions

Check tyre pressure and ensure it is within the manufacturer's recommended range. Inspect tread for wear and clean any debris lodged in the grooves.

Increased road noise

Ensure correct tyre pressure. Uneven wear can also cause noise; check wheel alignment and consider tyre rotation. Verify that no foreign objects are stuck in the tread.

Tyre feels unbalanced

This could indicate a need for wheel balancing. Consult a professional tyre service centre for inspection and balancing.

Premature tread wear

Check wheel alignment and tyre pressure. Aggressive driving can also accelerate wear. Regular rotation can help extend tyre life.
