Installation should always be performed by a qualified tyre professional. Ensure the correct tyre pressure is maintained as per your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for optimal performance, safety, and tyre life.

The "C" denotes its suitability for commercial use, indicating a reinforced construction for higher load capacities. The load index is 109/107 (indicating the maximum load capacity per tyre) and the speed rating is 'S' (maximum speed of 112 mph or 180 km/h). Always verify that these specifications meet or exceed your vehicle's requirements.
Care: To ensure longevity and performance:
- Regular Inspection: Visually inspect tyres for wear, damage, or embedded objects before and after journeys.
- Maintain Correct Pressure: Check tyre pressure at least monthly and before long trips, adjusting as needed. Under or over-inflation can negatively affect handling, fuel economy, and tyre life.
- Wheel Alignment & Balancing: Have your wheels aligned and balanced periodically, especially after hitting a pothole or changing tyres, to ensure even wear and smooth driving.
- Rotation: Rotate your tyres according to your vehicle manufacturer's guidelines to promote even wear across all four tyres.
- Cleaning: Clean the tyres and wheels regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt and road contaminants. Avoid harsh chemicals.
