Proper Periodic Tyre Check Is Must – Do It Yourself

Michelin Energy Tyre
Today, most people prefer to travel by their own vehicle because of various reasons. It is generally seen that you plan well for the entire holiday period but neglect the most important thing. It is the safety. When you are driving a vehicle family inside, how you can neglect the safety features. So, do not become one of thousands, who commit this error and suffer lifelong.

When you think about the driving safety, tyre condition comes at the top of your considerations. Poor condition of car or motorcycle tyres may results in fatal accidents. Many people think that the good condition of front tyres is more important than that of rear one, while it is a misconception. All the Indian tyre manufacturers and automobile experts are agreed on one point; all the four of it have equal importance and deliver direct impact upon the driving comfort and safety. By paying little attention towards it, you can avoid the chances up to the great extent. Do you know what are the strategic check points that should be checked before driving out your car?
Overall condition of it including outer and inner sidewalls
Tyre tread depth (minimum 1.6 mm)
Pressure as per recommendations
Different tyre brands recommend different pressure
Marks of irregular wear or cut
Condition of spare tyres (Age is also an important factor)

Check the pressure only when they are cold. Standards state that one hour is sufficient for the tyres to get cool. When you go for the checking, do not forget wheel balancing and shocker condition. Before heading for the holiday tour, get the complete information about the road conditions. If the roads are full of ditches and path holes or are under construction, you may need the pressure more than recommended for ideal driving condition but this should be within permissible limit. Do not rely upon the second hand or retreaded tyres. Instead, replace all the four and both the tyres of motorcycle with new to make your holiday or expedition drive safe.
