Transport Canada will take immediate action if any evidence suggests that a safety-related problem exists in Canada with any tires other than those already recalled. The investigator can examine the tire to determine the existence and nature of the problem. To do this, check the sticker on the door frame or the tire section in the vehicle owner's manual for the recommended settings. Inspect the tires for signs of trouble such as bulges in the tread, and missing or loose tread. Investigate unusual noises such as thumping or slapping sounds.
Heat can shorten the life of a tire.
To avoid heat build-up in tires in hot weather conditions, avoid overloading the vehicle. If you must drive a heavily loaded vehicle in hot weather, such as when towing a trailer, avoid prolonged high-speed driving and stop frequently to let the tires cool down. If in doubt about the safety of your tires, consult your vehicle dealer or tire distributor. In addition to keeping your tires in top condition, always ensure that all occupants of your vehicle are wearing seatbelts and that children are secured in appropriate car restraint systems.
