Why is tire care so important?

Regular tire care:

• Reduces the risk of punctures, hernias and sudden rupture.
• Guarantees effective braking and stability on the road.
• Promotes even wear and increases tire life.
• Helps save fuel by maintaining the correct pressure.

The main rules for caring for rubber

Tire care includes a few simple but essential steps:

• Check pressure: Regularly (at least every two weeks and before long trips) check the pressure in cold tires with a pressure gauge, checking the recommendations of your car manufacturer (usually indicated on the door pillar or in the manual).
• Visual inspection: Inspect the tires for cuts, cracks, bulges, uneven tread wear, and stuck objects (stones, nails).
• Cleanliness: Wash tires to remove dirt, dust, salt, and reagents that can destroy rubber.
• Proper storage: Store unused seasonal tires in a cool, dry, dark place, away from chemicals and flammable materials.

Remember that timely wheel balancing and checking the camber also affect the even wear of tires. Caring for your tires is an investment in your safety and comfort on the road.
