How to Fix:

1. Installation: Have the tire installed by a professional at a certified service center to ensure proper fitting and balancing.
2. Maintenance: Regularly check tire pressure, tread depth, and overall condition to maintain optimal performance and safety.
3. Rotation: Rotate tires according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations to ensure even wear and extend tire lifespan.
4. Alignment: Periodically check and adjust vehicle alignment to prevent uneven tire wear and maintain stability.

Cautions:

• Proper Inflation: Maintain recommended tire pressure to avoid underinflation or overinflation, which can affect tire performance and safety.

• Regular Inspection: Conduct visual inspections for signs of wear, cuts, punctures, or bulges, and replace tires if damage is detected.
• Seasonal Considerations: While suitable for highway use, consider using dedicated winter tires in severe winter conditions for optimal performance.
