[ "A Must-follow Tyre Checklist Before Hitting Roads In the MonsoonTyre condition: If you're still using old stock, get them changed immediately. Check the sidewall and tread depth carefully before making a purchase decision (the minimum legal requirement is 1.6 mm). Usually, after three years or 30,000-40,000 km of use, tyres wear out and become unviable for usage on Indian roads. We recommend getting new ones every six years unless otherwise indicatedIt's also advisable to keep an eye on Tyres Greenford pressure as under-inflation leads to overheating and, therefore, low grip on wet roads.Tyre tread pattern: If your car is already running on new tyres, it's time to check if the company has provided the correct type of tyre for varying weather conditions. The makers/manufacturers also provide suggested variants on their website or inside the owner's manualOpt for a variant that provides optimum wet grip capabilities on UK; roads (mostly wet at some point). For example, Michelin calls its three primary variants 'Rain', 'All-Season' and 'Performance'. Similarly, Bridgestone has two variants in its Potenza range - F1 Asymmetric 2 and Sport Hybrid 3D RS10, while Pirelli divides them into Cinturato Blue Label Plus and PZero Rosso.Tyre pressure: Check the air pressure regularly. If it's low, inflate them to the required level (as per car manual). Under-inflation leads to overheating of the tyre, which affects its grip potential on a wet surface. The ideal pressure should be 2 psi higher than that mentioned in your car's user manual or check tyre inflation recommendations.Wheel well clearances: Check if all four wheels are within their wheel wells while driving/parking your vehicle; otherwise, they will scrape against speed breakers, curbs etc., resulting in damage and making it impossible for you to drive when parked. Also, make sure there is no oil/grease on the tyre sidewalls before driving.Wheel alignment: If your car is leaning towards one side or you feel that the steering wheel needs to be turned more than usual over a short distance, it's time to get your vehicle's wheel alignment (tracking) checked by an expert; this ensures that all wheels are pointing in the same direction at all times. It also leads to improved handling and better fuel efficiency, among other benefits.Horn, wipers and lights: Do they work perfectly? Check if your wiper speed is appropriate for monsoon conditions (most cars usually come with 3-speed settings). Also, don't forget to regularly check washer fluid levels and change wipers every few months depending on usage. The same goes for the horn - test it out and make sure it's in good working condition. Driving in the rain can be a fun experience if you're well prepared. Following the essential Tyres Greenford checklist above should help keep you safe while driving on wet roads. So drive carefully and enjoy the monsoon!Now that you know how to drive in wet weather, check your tyre pressure and tread depth regularly to ensure safety on the roads. Uk roads are typically wet at some point, so it's essential to have tyres that provide optimum grip in these conditions. If you're not sure which tyres to choose, consult with a tyre specialist to find the right set for your car. Happy driving!" ]
