Solution

Solution

1. Tire Inspection and Pressure Adjustment

  • Verify that all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure as per the owner's manual.
  • Inspect tires for any visible damage, such as cuts, bulges, or uneven tread wear.
  • Replace any damaged tires if necessary.

2. Wheel Balancing

  • Tools Required: Wheel balancer, torque wrench
