The lifespan of any tire depends heavily on driving habits, road conditions, maintenance, and climate. Following recommended care practices, including proper inflation and rotations, will help maximize tread life.

The FM601 is designed for general use, offering reasonable performance in various conditions. However, for extreme weather (heavy snow, ice), specialized winter tires are recommended. Always exercise caution in adverse conditions.

Ensure proper tire pressure is maintained, rotate tires regularly (every 5,000-7,500 miles), and check vehicle alignment and suspension.

Verify tire pressure is set to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation. Ensure tires are properly balanced during installation.

Road noise can be a factor; however, excessive or unusual noise might indicate an issue with balancing or alignment. Consult a professional technician.

Ensure tires are properly inflated and that the tread is not excessively worn. Drive cautiously in heavy rain and reduce speed.
