FAQs
What is the correct tire pressure for the Kustone Active V02?
The recommended tire pressure can be found on your vehicle's doorjamb sticker or in the owner's manual. Do not exceed the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
How often should I rotate my Kustone Active V02 tires?
It is generally recommended to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to ensure even wear and maximize their lifespan.
Can I use these tires in heavy snow?
The Active V02 is designed for all-season capability, but for severe winter conditions with heavy snow and ice, dedicated winter tires are recommended for optimal safety and performance.
What does the '84V' rating mean?
The '84' is the load index, indicating the maximum load the tire can carry. 'V' is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry that load.
How do I check the remaining tread depth?
You can use a tread depth gauge or a coin (like a penny inserted upside down; if Lincoln's head is visible, the tread is low) to measure the depth of the grooves.
Are these tires directional?
The Kustone Active V02 is not specified as a directional tire. Always check the tire sidewall for any directional arrows or 'inside/outside' markings after installation.
Troubleshooting
Uneven tire wear
Check wheel alignment and tire pressure. Consider tire rotation if wear is consistent across the tread.
Vibration or shaking while driving
Ensure tires are properly balanced. If the issue persists, check for tire damage or road hazards.
Reduced grip in wet conditions
Verify tire pressure is within the recommended range. Check tread depth; worn tires have reduced wet grip.
Tire pressure warning light stays on
Check tire pressure manually and adjust to recommended levels. Inspect tires for slow leaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: The Kustone Active V02 is designed for passenger vehicles with wheel rims measuring 16 inches in diameter and requiring a tire size of 195/50. Always confirm your vehicle's specific tire size requirements in your owner's manual or on the sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb before purchasing.
Installation: Tire installation should be performed by a qualified professional at a tire shop. They will ensure the tires are mounted correctly on the wheels and inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Proper wheel balancing is also critical for optimal performance and tire longevity.
Care:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check tire pressure using a reliable gauge. Under-inflated or over-inflated tires can affect handling, fuel economy, and tire wear.
- Tire Rotation: Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,500 miles to ensure even wear. This helps to prolong the life of the tire and maintain consistent performance.
- Alignment: Ensure your vehicle's wheel alignment is checked regularly, especially if you notice uneven tire wear or the vehicle pulling to one side.
- Cleaning: Clean the tires with mild soap and water to remove dirt and road grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the rubber.
