Ensuring that your Suzuki Alto’s tires are safe for driving is essential for maintaining proper traction and handling. Here’s what to check:

Tire Tread Depth: Check the tread depth regularly. If the tread is worn down to 1.6mm o r lower, the tires are unsafe and should be replaced. Use a tread depth gauge to measure this.
Tire Pressure: Ensure that your tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. Under-inflated tires reduce fuel efficiency and handling, while over-inflated tires can increase the risk of a blowout.
Visual Inspection: Look for any visible signs of damage like cuts, cracks, o r bulges on the tire sidewalls, which can compromise the tire’s integrity.
Uneven Tire Wear: Uneven wear patterns could be a sign of alignment o r suspension issues. Even wear across the tread ensures better grip and safety.
Solution: Regularly check the tread depth and tire pressure, perform visual inspections for damage, and rotate the tires periodically to ensure even wear. If any tire shows signs of damage o r excessive wear, replace it immediately.
