Tyre Maintenance
Maintain Correct Tyre Pressure
Keep your tyres inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure. Under-inflated tyres wear faster and reduce performance, while over-inflation can reduce grip and comfort.
Check Tyre Pressure Monthly
Tyre pressure naturally drops over time. Checking it at least once a month helps extend tyre life and ensures your GT Radial tyres perform as designed.
Rotate Tyres Regularly
Rotating tyres every 8,000–10,000 km promotes even wear. This is especially important for front-wheel-drive vehicles, where front tyres wear faster.
Monitor Tread Depth
Adequate tread depth is essential for grip, especially in wet conditions. Worn tyres increase stopping distances and raise the risk of aquaplaning.
Wheel Alignment Matters
Poor wheel alignment causes uneven tyre wear and steering pull. Proper alignment helps GT Radial tyres wear evenly and improves driving stability.
Balance Your Tyres
Unbalanced tyres can cause vibration and uneven wear. Regular balancing improves ride comfort and extends tyre lifespan.
Inspect Tyres for Damage
Check for cuts, cracks, bulges, or embedded objects. Early detection can prevent blowouts and costly replacements.
Avoid Overloading Your Vehicle
Exceeding the vehicle’s load rating puts extra stress on tyres, increasing heat buildup and wear. Always follow load index guidelines.
Drive Smoothly
Aggressive acceleration, hard braking, and fast cornering accelerate tyre wear. Smooth driving helps maintain traction and longevity.
Replace Tyres in Sets
For consistent handling and safety, replace tyres in pairs or full sets. Matching GT Radial tyres ensures balanced grip and performance.
Don’t Ignore Tyre Age
Even if tread looks good, tyres degrade over time. Most manufacturers recommend replacement after 5–6 years, depending on use and storage.
Seasonal Tyre Checks
Temperature changes affect tyre pressure. Check inflation more frequently during seasonal shifts to maintain optimal performance.
Proper Storage Extends Tyre Life
Store spare or unused tyres in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rubber deterioration.
Tyres Affect Fuel Economy
Well-maintained tyres reduce rolling resistance, helping improve fuel efficiency and lower running costs.
Quality Tyres Perform Best When Maintained
GT Radial tyres are engineered for durability and grip, but regular maintenance is key to getting the best safety, comfort, and value from them.
