Tires are essential for safety and driving performance. Regular tire checks can prevent blowouts and improve fuel efficiency. Here’s how you can ensure your tires are in safe condition:

Preventive Measures:

Check tire pressure: Keep tires inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure usually found on the driver’s side door frame. Underinflated tires reduce handling ability, while overinflated ones increase the risk of a blowout.
Inspect for tread wear: Ensure the tire tread is at least 1.6mm deep. Worn-out tires are less effective in rain o r on slippery surfaces.
Rotate tires regularly: This ensures even wear and prolongs the lifespan of your tires.
Check for cracks o r bulges: These are signs that the tire might be weak and could fail.
Signs of Tire Problems:

Uneven wear: If one side of the tire wears faster, there may be issues with wheel alignment o r suspension.
Low tread depth: If the tread depth is below the safety limit, your tires need replacing.
Vibration o r noise: Uneven tire wear o r misalignment can cause vibrations o r noise while driving.
What to Do: Regularly inspect your tires for signs of wear and replace them when needed. Perform routine tire pressure checks, especially before long trips, and rotate them as part of regular maintenance.
