Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for JK Tyre Light Commercial Vehicle Tyres.
Troubleshooting tips
Check tyre pressure weekly when cold; for JK Tyre LCV tyres, maintain 40-45 PSI for front and 60-65 PSI for rear (refer to vehicle placard). Underinflation by 10% can reduce tyre life by 15%.
Inspect tread depth using a tread depth gauge; replace tyres when tread reaches 1.6mm legal limit. For JK Tyre LCV tyres, rotate every 5,000 km to ensure even wear.
If you experience vibration or pulling, get wheel alignment and balancing checked at a JK Tyre authorized service center. Improper alignment can cause irregular wear and reduce fuel efficiency.
For punctures, use JK Tyre's Tubeless Repair Kit or visit an authorized dealer for professional repair. Avoid using sealants as they can damage the tyre interior.
Monitor for signs of cracking or bulging on sidewalls; if found, replace immediately. JK Tyre recommends a professional inspection every 6 months.
