4. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും
Proper installation is crucial for tire safety and performance. It is strongly recommended that these tires be installed by a qualified professional tire technician.
4.1 പ്രീ-ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ പരിശോധനകൾ
- ടയറുകൾ പരിശോധിക്കുക: Before mounting, visually inspect each tire for any manufacturing defects or shipping damage.
- അനുയോജ്യത പരിശോധിക്കുക: Ensure the tire size (LT33/12.50R22) and load rating (114Q) are compatible with your vehicle's specifications and rim size (recommended 10 inches).
- Check Rims: Ensure rims are clean, free from damage, and compatible with tubeless tires.
4.2 മൗണ്ടിംഗും ബാലൻസിംഗും
- Lubricate tire beads and rim flanges with an approved tire lubricant.
- Mount the tire onto the rim using appropriate tire mounting equipment, ensuring the tire is seated correctly.
- Inflate the tire slowly to the recommended seating pressure, ensuring both beads are fully seated. Never exceed 40 PSI (2.75 bar) to seat beads unless specified otherwise by the tire manufacturer.
- Once beads are seated, adjust the tire pressure to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressure, typically found on a placard inside the driver's door jamb or in the owner's manual.
- Balance the tire and wheel assembly using a dynamic wheel balancer to prevent vibrations.
4.3 പോസ്റ്റ്-ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ
- Lug Nut Torque: Torque lug nuts to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
- റീ-ടോർക്ക്: Re-check lug nut torque after the first 50-100 miles (80-160 km) of driving.

5. പ്രവർത്തന മാർഗ്ഗനിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
To maximize the performance and lifespan of your Gladiator X-COMP M/T tires, adhere to the following operating guidelines.
5.1 ടയർ മർദ്ദം
- Maintain Correct Pressure: Always maintain the cold inflation pressure recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Check pressure at least once a month, and before long trips, using an accurate tire gauge.
- Cold Inflation: "Cold" means the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or has not been driven more than one mile (1.6 km).
- Off-Road Pressure: For specific off-road conditions, tire pressure may be temporarily lowered for increased traction. Consult off-road driving guides or experienced professionals for appropriate off-road pressures. Always re-inflate to vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure before returning to paved roads.
5.2 ലോഡ് കപ്പാസിറ്റി
- Never exceed the maximum load capacity specified for the tire (2600 lbs per tire) or the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Overloading can lead to tire failure.
5.3 ഡ്രൈവിംഗ് വ്യവസ്ഥകൾ
- ഓഫ്-റോഡ് ഉപയോഗം: These tires are designed for mud and off-road terrains. Drive cautiously and be aware of terrain hazards that could damage tires.
- On-Road Use: While capable on-road, mud-terrain tires may exhibit increased road noise and different handling characteristics compared to all-terrain or highway tires. Adjust driving style accordingly.
- സ്പീഡ് റേറ്റിംഗ്: The tire has a speed rating of 'Q', indicating a maximum speed of 99 mph (160 km/h) under ideal conditions. Never exceed legal speed limits or the tire's speed rating.

6. പരിപാലനം
Regular maintenance extends tire life and ensures safe operation.
6.1 പതിവ് പരിശോധനകൾ
- ദൃശ്യ പരിശോധന: Regularly inspect tires for cuts, punctures, bulges, cracks, or any signs of damage. Remove any embedded objects (stones, nails, etc.) carefully.
- ചവിട്ടുപടി ആഴം: Check tread depth periodically. Replace tires when tread depth reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), indicated by the tread wear indicators (bars molded into the tread grooves).
6.2 ടയർ റൊട്ടേഷൻ
- Rotate tires every 5,000-7,000 miles (8,000-11,000 km) or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer to promote even wear and extend tire life.
6.3 വൃത്തിയാക്കലും സംഭരണവും
- Clean tires with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade rubber.
- Store spare tires or seasonal tires in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and ozone-producing equipment (e.g., electric motors).
