Tire installation should always be performed by a qualified professional using appropriate equipment. Improper installation can lead to tire damage, vehicle instability, and potential safety hazards.
4.1 Iṣagbesori
- Inspect Wheel: Ensure the wheel is clean, free from damage, and compatible with the tire size.
- Lubricate Beads: Apply a suitable tire mounting lubricant to the tire beads and wheel flanges.
- Mount Tire: Use a tire mounting machine to carefully mount the tire onto the wheel, ensuring the beads seat correctly.
- Gbe soke: Inflate the tire to the recommended seating pressure, ensuring both beads are fully seated. Do not exceed the maximum seating pressure specified by the tire manufacturer.
- Iwọntunwọnsi: Balance the tire and wheel assembly using a dynamic wheel balancer to prevent vibrations and ensure even wear.
4.2 Ibẹrẹ Ayẹwo
After installation, visually inspect the tire for any signs of damage, improper seating, or air leaks. Verify that the tire pressure matches the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, typically found on a placard inside the driver's side door jamb or in the vehicle owner's manual.

5.1 Taya Ipa
Maintaining correct tire pressure is crucial for safety, tire longevity, and vehicle performance. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or the tire placard for the recommended cold inflation pressure. Check tire pressure regularly, at least once a month and before long trips, using an accurate tire gauge. Adjust pressure when tires are cold (driven less than one mile).
5.2 fifuye Agbara
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity specified on the tire's sidewall or the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Overloading can lead to tire failure, reduced handling, and increased braking distances.
5.3 Driving Conditions
The Gladiator X-COMP M/T tire is designed for off-road use, including mud, dirt, and rocky terrains. While capable on paved roads, mud-terrain tires may exhibit different handling characteristics and increased road noise compared to highway tires. Adjust driving style accordingly, especially in wet conditions or at higher speeds.

6. Itọju
6.1 Yiyi Taya
Regular tire rotation is essential for promoting even tread wear and extending tire life. Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended rotation schedule, typically every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Consult a tire professional for the appropriate rotation pattern for your vehicle.
6.2 Inspection for Wear and Damage
Periodically inspect your tires for signs of wear, damage, or foreign objects. Look for:
- Tread Wear: Check tread depth using a tread depth gauge. Replace tires when tread depth reaches the minimum legal limit (typically 2/32 inch).
- Uneven Wear: Patterns of uneven wear (e.g., shoulder wear, center wear, feathering) can indicate issues with inflation, alignment, or balancing.
- Cuts, Cracks, and Bulges: Inspect the tread and sidewalls for any cuts, cracks, punctures, or bulges, which may indicate internal damage.
- Awọn nkan ajeji: Remove any stones, nails, or other debris lodged in the tread.
6.3 Ninu
Clean tires with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or petroleum-based products, which can degrade rubber compounds.
