"Tyre Upgrade" means increase of rim diameter without changingof tyre overall diameter, the trend in development of low aspect ratio is called upgrade

TYRE ROTATION

The purpose for rotating tyres is to achieve a more uniform wear for all tyres on a vehicle.

Faulty Tyre Rotation can lead to the following :

- Excessive Noise

- Poor Ride Comfort

- Short Life Span

TYRE INFLATION

Tyre Inflation is one of the most important aspects of tyre maintenance. Maintain a checklist to ensure proper care.

You should check the following

  • Check for air over inflation
  • Check for air pressure loss
  • Check inflation once a week before
  • Check for air under inflation
