- Wheel alignment
- It is recommended to have vehicle alignment checked at every 5000 kms or whenever irregular wear or vehicle pulling is noticed.
- Incase of any accidental vehicle, it is recommended to have proper alignment setting and OR part replacement from authorized franchisee only
- Tyre rotation
- Always ensure to rotate tyre at every 5000 kms or whenever an uneven tread wear is noticed.
- Always follow vehicle manufacturer’s recommended rotation pattern.
- Tyre change:
- It is not safe to use tyres once tread wear indicator is exposed i.e. at remaining 1.6 mm tread depth.
- Do not use any tyre with damaged carcass.
- Inflation pressure maintenance:
- Always maintain inflation pressure as per the recommendation of vehicle manufacturer for optimum tyre performance.
- It is recommended to check inflation pressure in cold condition on at least weekly basis and even more frequently in new tyre for first 3000kms
- Keep 5 Psi (0.3kg/cm2) more inflation pressure from the recommendation in spare tyre and reduce it to recommended inflation pressure at the time of usage.
- It is recommended to have 2~3Psi (0.1~0.2kg/cm2) more inflation pressure in tyres of aspect ratio 55 or below.
- It is recommended to have 5Psi (0.3kf/cm2) more inflation pressure during driving in express highways at high speed to reduce the flat spotting effect.
- Wheel balancing:
- Always use rims free from any bend/damage.
- Balance the assembly at the time of new tyre fitment or whenever it is de-mounted/mounted on the rim.
- Balance the wheel assembly whenever vibrations are felt during running.
- Proper tyre mounting demounting:
- Always mount all four radial tyres of same brand for optimum advantages of radial tyre. Mixed use with bias or different brands in the same vehicle is not recommended.
- Always mount tyre with correct size of rim .
- Always use a new and correct size tube of same brand with a new tyre.
- Always use new tubeless valve while replacing the tyre.
- Always check rim for its flange part free from dirt & rust.
- Rim valve hole should be round & smooth.
- Always ensure no foreign material/object in between tyre, tube and the rim while mounting.
- Always lubricate the tyre beads with recommended soap solution prior to mounting and de-mounting. Never use Greece or any other chemical as lubricant
- Never exceed tyre inflation pressure from 44 Psi (3.0 kg/cm2) to seat the beads.
