Updated Apr 21, 2020

Tires are an essential determinant of a car performance. Here are 3 important things to keep in mind in order to prolong the lifespan of the tire.
Below are some tire safety tips and maintenance that may be useful for you.

1. Check the tire pressure
According maintenance tips, if you drive with incorrect tire pressure, the vehicle’s handing and braking will be affected, especially in wet conditions. This seriously threatens your safety.

Driving on overinflated or underinflated tires can cause some possible failure like harsh handling, unevenly wear or overheating, etc.
 
Check the tire pressure

Check your tire pressure regularly and before long trips.

 
For these reasons, check your tire pressure regularly and before every long trip.

2. Change your tires
We can’t tell exactly how long a tire lasts. Its lifespan depends on many factors such as design, driving habits, road conditions and tire maintenance.

Commonly, after five years or more in use, the tires begin to wear out and tear. Hence, have your tires inspected or replaced by a professional. It is highly recommended that you keep the same size and the type of tire or even the same brand and tread pattern as the original tires.
 
Replace tires

You should replace all four tires at once.

 
Sometimes, changing car tires can cause some minor issues such as increased tire noise or reduced control. For those issues, consult the professional to replace more suitable tires for your vehicle.
A particularly important note is that you must replace all four tires at once. Many drivers replace only the front tires and don’t realize the importance of rear tires; this will increase the chance of fishtailing at the rear.
 
Car odometer

Driving at high speed can cause the tire blowout.

 
The higher speed you drive, the more damage your tires must suffer. Because of the increased friction between the rubber and the road, your tires can be burnt easily at a great speed. This can cause a tire blowout and loss of the control of the vehicle.

Thus, check the indicator of your tire pressure monitoring frequently to control your excess speed.
