Safety Information
Tires are critical components of vehicle safety. Incorrect installation, maintenance, or usage can lead to serious accidents. Always prioritize safety by following these guidelines:
- Ensure tires are installed by qualified professionals.
- Maintain correct tire inflation pressure as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
- Regularly inspect tires for damage, wear, and proper inflation.
- Do not exceed the tire's maximum load capacity or speed rating.
- Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, or sharp turns, especially on challenging terrain.
Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for tire performance and safety. It is strongly recommended that these tires be installed by a certified automotive technician.
Mounting
- Ensure the wheel rim is clean, free of rust, and undamaged.
- Use appropriate tire mounting equipment and lubricants.
- Match the tire size to the vehicle and rim specifications.
- Avoid damaging the tire bead during mounting.
Balancing
After mounting, tires must be balanced to prevent vibration and ensure even wear. Use a dynamic wheel balancer for accurate results.
Inflation
Inflate tires to the pressure recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, typically found on a placard inside the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual. Do not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the tire sidewall during inflation, but always adhere to vehicle manufacturer recommendations for operational pressure.

Operating Guidelines
Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure regularly, at least once a month and before long trips, using a reliable pressure gauge. Adjust pressure when tires are cold. Under-inflation or over-inflation can lead to premature wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and compromised handling.
Load Capacity
Never exceed the maximum load capacity specified for your tires and vehicle. Overloading can cause excessive heat buildup, leading to tire failure.
Speed Rating
Adhere to the tire's speed rating. Sustained driving at speeds exceeding the tire's rating can cause tire damage and failure.
Driving Conditions
While the AMP Terrain Pro A/T is designed for various terrains, adjust your driving style to suit road and weather conditions. Reduce speed on wet, icy, or unpaved surfaces.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends tire life and ensures consistent performance.
Tire Rotation
Rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, to promote even wear across all four tires. This helps maximize tread life.
Tread Depth Inspection
Regularly check tread depth. Tires should be replaced when the tread wears down to 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), indicated by the tread wear indicators (small bars molded into the tread grooves).

Visual Inspection
Inspect tires for cuts, punctures, bulges, or other damage. Any significant damage should be addressed immediately by a professional.
Cleaning
Clean tires with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade rubber compounds.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Tread Wear | Improper inflation, misalignment, unbalanced wheels, lack of rotation. | Check and adjust tire pressure, perform wheel alignment, balance wheels, rotate tires regularly. |
| Vibration | Unbalanced wheels, bent rim, damaged tire, loose suspension components. | Have wheels balanced, inspect rims and tires for damage, check suspension. |
| Slow Air Leak | Puncture, faulty valve stem, damaged rim, bead leak. | Inspect tire for punctures, check valve stem, have tire professionally inspected and repaired. |
| Reduced Traction | Worn tread, improper inflation, unsuitable driving conditions. | Check tread depth and replace if necessary, adjust tire pressure, adapt driving to conditions. |
For any persistent or severe issues, consult a professional tire technician.
