Tire Safety Tips |
| To prevent the devastating loss of life that can occur as a result of tire
failures, there are steps that can be taken in addition to ensuring that recalled
tires are not being used. |
| EARLY SIGNS: There are many early warning signs to watch out for. If you
notice any of the following signs, please have a professional inspection performed
and correct those issues. |
- cracks or cuts in the sidewalls
- bulges or blisters in the sidewalls
- uneven treadwear
- excessive vibration
- worn out tread below 1/16th on an inch (You can use a tread-wear gauge or
simply use a penny to gauge this by inserting a president Lincoln penny headfirst
into the tire groove. If the top of his head is visible, the tire is too worn
and needs to be replaced.)
|
| MAINTENANCE: Keep your tires properly inflated.
Tires can slowly lose air pressure through the rubber and through seasonal
temperature changes. Under-inflated tires cause the sidewalls of tires to flex,
compromising the car’s handling
ability. Small pressure losses of as little as 4 psi can make a difference. If
a sidewall flexes too much, this can create extreme heat in the tire and lead
to tread separation or a blowout. Check your tire pressure each month with an
inexpensive tire gauge and set the pressure to your car manufacturers recommended
settings. |
