Troubleshooting

Uneven tire wear

Check tire pressure regularly and ensure it is correctly maintained. Have wheel alignment and balance checked by a professional.

Increased road noise

Ensure tires are properly balanced and that no objects are lodged in the tread. Uneven wear can also contribute to noise; address wear issues as per other solutions.

Reduced fuel efficiency

Verify tire pressure is at the recommended level. Excessive speed or aggressive driving can also impact fuel economy.
