Check tyres are inflated to the correct pressure every week using a reliable gauge. Do this when the tyres are cold. Tyres will wear at different speeds especially between front and back. Don't presume all tyres will be in the same condition. Ask a garage to check the vehicle's tracking every six months, or after any collision or heavy kerb impact.
Incorrect tracking leads to uneven and accelerated tyre wear.
Aggressive driving styles can take thousand of miles from the life expectancy of tyres. Harsh acceleration and braking will reduce the tread significantly. When changing tyres, never risk buying part worn or second-hand tyres, a brand new tyre or retread is always a safer investment. So the next time you have a damaged or flat tyre, don t look for a mechanic. Just follow these simple steps and change it yourself.
