Check your tyres regularly

  • Make sure your tyres are inflated to the pressure recommended in your car's handbook.
  • Look out for any signs of under-inflation, wear, cuts and bulges in the sidewalls.
  • Remove stones and road debris from the tread grooves.
  • Have your steering alignment checked if your front tyres are showing signs of excessive or uneven wear.
  • Have your wheels balanced if you notice any vibration, wheel wobble or patchy tyre wear.
  • Avoid harsh braking, fierce acceleration and fast cornering.
