How to use

Fit the tyre to a compatible 14" rim and ensure correct wheel balancing and alignment at installation. Inflate to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure and check pressure regularly, including before long trips and when carrying heavy loads. Inspect the tread and sidewalls periodically for damage, foreign objects or uneven wear; replace tyres when tread depth reaches legal minimums or if structural damage is detected. Use tyres in appropriate seasonal conditions; if operating in snow and ice, choose certified winter tyres instead.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, rotate tyres according to the vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule, maintain correct inflation, and have wheel alignment checked after suspension repairs or noticeable steering pull. Avoid prolonged high-speed driving on worn tyres and inspect tyre condition before long journeys.
