Do you know how to ensure your safety and maintain your tyres?

Essential for safety, tyres are often overlooked, but they carry the vehicle, provide traction, and affect handling and fuel efficiency. Regular checks, proper pressure, and selecting seasonally appropriate tyres are crucial for safe and efficient driving.

For that reason, you always have the ability to move a few steps closer towards safety, such as the following:

Checking your tread – Your tyre’s tread should be 1.6mm deep at least. If you have to apply the brakes suddenly while you are moving at a high rate of speed, the tread of your tyres are made to maintain a hold on the road and provide you a good  grip.

Air Pressure Testing– It is absolutely necessary to check the tyres’ air pressure on a regular basis to prevent damage to the tyres. It is essential to maintain accurate tire pressure; otherwise, the tyres may become  cracked or worn due to lack of air.

Buy an Extra Tyre– Assure to have a spare wheel in your  car in case of an  emergency. You should also be prepared to change the tyre and make any necessary repairs to it in the event of an emergency. If the tyres are moving or shaking, then you need to properly fix them. Make sure the valves are properly balanced and fit tightly, and check that they are properly balanced.

Be aware of any unusual sound – Vibration in the tyres is an indicator that they are either old or worn out, so stay vigilant and keep an eye on them. In addition, damaged tyres should be replaced as soon as possible, and driving on them should be avoided at all costs; doing so could result in further damage to the wheels and tyres.

Regular Inspection and Alignment – Be sure to keep an eye out for any cracks in the tyres, as well as any misalignment or other damage that could have been caused by the road or potholes. Always be aware of how the tyres are changing and what shape they are currently in.

Follow the rules – Safe driving requires concentration, focus, and a level head. Please maintain vigilance and drive safely by following traffic rules.

Tyres Replacement – Check and replace your tyres whenever necessary, taking into account factors such as the season, such as summer or winter, or the amount of time that has passed since you last had your tires replaced. Choose tyres that are either seasonally appropriate or specially designed, if at all possible.

Speed Rating – Choosing the exact speed rating for tyres is important. As the faster you drive the higher chance your the tires generate heat, which is risky in bursting or getting the tyres damaged faster. Therefore, for your safety use tyres with an according speed to your drive.
