Choosing the right tire is like picking the right shoes for your car- it’s more than just appearance. Tires affect safety, braking, fuel efficiency, and comfort—so the right size and type ensure better performance and a safer drive.
Keeping your tires properly inflated is the simplest and most important step.
Underinflation
Correct Inflation
Overinflation
Tires wear differently depending on their position. Front tires often wear faster due to steering and braking forces.
The front tires handle steering, braking, and all the engine's power. It offers superior fuel efficiency and better traction on rainy days.
FRONT TIRES: Move STRAIGHT to the REAR.
REAR TIRES: CROSSED to the FRONT.
The front tires wear out significantly faster on the edges compared to the rear tires. It gives it a “break” to even out wear.
The rear tires deliver all the engine power while the front tires steer - providing sharper handling and quicker acceleration for a sports car feel.
FRONT TIRES: CROSSED to the REAR
REAR TIRES: STRAIGHT to the FRONT
The rear tires wear out significantly faster in the center than the front tires. It prevents choppy road noise from uneven tires
All tires handle all the engine power evenly. It offers enhanced durability, increased towing capacity and can withstand tough conditions.
FRONT TIRES: CROSSED to the REAR
REAR TIRES: CROSSED to the FRONT
It ensures wear is distributed evenly across all four wheels, prolonging tread life and protecting your expensive AWD System
Directional Tires are “V” shaped tires, designed to rotate in one direction for better high speed stability and wet grip
FRONT TIRES: STRAIGHT to the REAR
REAR TIRES: STRAIGHT to the FRONT
Its “Rotation” / “Direction” arrows must face forward. Reversing this increases noise, adds vibration and traps water (hydroplanning)
Misaligned or unbalanced wheels can cause uneven wear, vibration, and steering issues. Have your alignment checked if:

Tread depth directly affects traction, especially on wet roads.
Your driving style has a major impact on tire life.
