Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high speeds, even with the correct inflation pressures, a road hazard is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Driving on a damaged tire or wheel can be dangerous. Always look for bulges, cracks, cuts, splits, penetrations, and abnormal tread wear.
Damage can occur within the tire body without being visible on the outside.
A vibration or ride disturbance may be a sign of tire damage. Any time you see any damage to your tires or wheels, replace with spare at once and immediately see your tire dealer to have the damaged tire inspected. If a tire is damaged, deflate it, remove it from the vehicle, and replace the tire and wheel with your spare. If you do not see any tire damage and cannot otherwise determine the source of the vibration, have the vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer for a thorough inspection. Use of a damaged tire could result in sudden tire destruction.
