It the depth is less than 2mm,then the tyre should be replaced at the earliest.Tyre Pressure checkUneven tyre surface wear can result from improper inflation.So it is recommended that you get all the tyres including the spare checkedevery two weeks. Improper inflation can also lead the tyres to burst onhighways. The tyre pressure recommendation can be found on the driver's side doorand in the owners manual.Tyres can suffer from overinflation as well asunderinflation. When overinflated, the centre of the tyres will wear faster,and also will be at a greater failure risk. The amount of tread touching theroad reduces when overinflated thereby increasing the wear in the tread centre.What is recommended tyre pressure?Usually, you can find this information on the driver's sidedoor or in the owners manual. At times, this information is also present onthe inside flap of the fuel tank.
