Take a few minutes to look at all four tyres before your next long drive in wet weather.
Look around the whole tyre
Park on level ground and look for cuts, bulges, embedded debris and uneven wear. Turn the steering wheel while parked to see more of the front tyres. Ask a tyre professional to inspect any damage that concerns you.
Check the pressure when cold
Use the vehicle manufacturer’s cold-pressure recommendation on the door sticker or in the manual. Check the spare if your car carries one. Keep a record if the same tyre repeatedly loses pressure.
Pay attention to changes on the road
New vibration, pulling to one side or a change in steering response gives you a reason to arrange an inspection. Check your tyres early enough to make repairs before your trip.
