Mounting and first drive
Mounting a mud terrain tire is more than fitting it on the rim. The bead should seat evenly, and the wheel should be balanced with the tire, since heavy lugs can cause vibration at highway speed. Ask the installer to check the valve stem and inflation before you leave the shop.
After the first drive, look at the tread and the sidewalls for any early wear, bulges or stone cuts. Mud tires can pick up debris that works into the grooves, so clean the tread after muddy runs. Pair the tires with a careful inspection of the wheels and suspension joints before a longer trip. Keep a tire gauge in the vehicle, and check pressure before each outing, since pressure changes with temperature and load. A tire that feels off on the road often needs a balance or alignment check rather than replacement.
