Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for CEAT Car Tyres.
Troubleshooting tips
Check tyre pressure monthly, especially before long drives. For CEAT tyres, use the recommended PSI from your vehicle manual or the sticker on the driver's door frame. Incorrect pressure can cause uneven wear and reduce fuel efficiency.
If you notice vibrations while driving, have your CEAT tyres balanced and rotated every 5,000-8,000 km. Unbalanced tyres can lead to premature wear and strain on suspension.
In case of a puncture, use a temporary repair kit for emergencies, but have the tyre professionally inspected and repaired (if possible) or replaced. CEAT tyres are designed for safety, but driving on a damaged tyre is risky.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I check the air pressure in my CEAT car tyres?
Check your CEAT car tyre pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Use the recommended PSI from your vehicle's manual or door sticker. Proper pressure ensures safety, better mileage, and longer tyre life.
What should I do if my CEAT tyre gets a puncture?
If you get a puncture, safely pull over and replace the tyre with the spare if possible. For minor punctures, you may use a temporary repair kit, but have the tyre inspected by a professional at the earliest. CEAT recommends not driving on a punctured tyre as it can cause further damage and safety risks.
