3. Configuració i instal·lació

Proper installation is crucial for tire performance and safety. It is highly recommended that tire mounting and balancing be performed by a qualified professional using appropriate equipment.

3.1 Muntatge

• Ensure the tire size and specifications match your vehicle's requirements.
• Inspect the wheel for damage or corrosion before mounting.
• Use proper lubrication on the tire beads and wheel rim during mounting to prevent damage.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for mounting direction, especially for asymmetrical or directional tires. The Eagle F1 SuperCar 3 features an asymmetrical tread pattern.

3.2 Equilibri

• After mounting, tires must be balanced to prevent vibrations and ensure even wear.
• Use a high-quality wheel balancing machine.

3.3 Inflació

• Inflate tires to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure, typically found on a placard inside the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual. Do not exceed the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
• Check tire pressure when tires are cold (before driving).
• The maximum pressure for this tire is 51 PSI.

4. Funcionament i ús

4.1 Període de rodatge

New tires require a break-in period of approximately 500 miles (800 km) to allow the components to settle and mold release compounds to wear off. During this period, avoid sudden acceleration, hard braking, and aggressive cornering.

4.2 Driving Considerations

• Condicions humides: While designed for excellent wet grip, reduce speed and increase following distance in rain or on wet roads. Hydroplaning can occur if water cannot be effectively dispersed.
• Condicions seques: These tires offer superb dry handling and cornering. However, always drive within legal speed limits and safe operating conditions.
• Temperatura: Ultra-high performance tires are optimized for warmer temperatures. Performance may be reduced in near-freezing conditions.

5. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular allarga la vida útil dels pneumàtics i garanteix un rendiment constant.

5.1 Pressió dels pneumàtics

• Check tire pressure monthly, or before long trips, using an accurate gauge.
• Maintain pressures as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

5.2 Tire Rotation

• Rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (8,000 to 12,000 km) or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer to promote even wear.
• Consult your vehicle owner's manual for the appropriate rotation pattern.

5.3 Inspecció

• Regularly inspect tires for signs of damage, such as cuts, punctures, bulges, or cracks.
• Check tread depth. Replace tires when tread depth reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), indicated by tread wear indicators.
• Remove any stones or debris lodged in the tread grooves.

5.4 Neteja i emmagatzematge

• Clean tires with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or petroleum-based products.
• If storing tires, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ozone-generating equipment.

6. Solució De Problemes

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your tires.

6.1 Uneven Tire Wear

• Causa: Improper inflation, misalignment, worn suspension components, or lack of rotation.
• Solució: Check and adjust tire pressure, have wheel alignment inspected, check suspension, and ensure regular tire rotation.

6.2 Vibració

• Causa: Unbalanced wheels, bent rim, tire damage, or worn suspension parts.
• Solució: Have tires re-balanced, inspect wheels and tires for damage, and check suspension components.

6.3 Loss of Air Pressure

• Causa: Puncture, leaky valve stem, damaged rim, or bead leak.
• Solució: Inspect the tire, valve stem, and rim for damage. Seek professional repair for punctures or leaks.
