Complete Tyre Safety Guide: Everything You Need to Know

Your tires are where your car meets the road. Proper tire maintenance is essential for safety and fuel efficiency.

Key Tire Safety Metrics

1. Tread Depth - Minimum 1.6mm (use penny test)
2. Pressure - Check monthly at cold temperature
3. Alignment - Improper alignment causes uneven wear
4. Balance - Imbalanced tires cause vibration

Common Tire Issues

• Underinflation (reduces fuel economy, increases heat)
• Overinflation (reduces traction)
• Uneven wear (alignment or suspension issues)
• Punctures (repair vs replace decision)

Tire Replacement Timeline

Average tires last 3-5 years or 25,000-50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
