I see many car owners driving their premium category cars with poor condition tyres and inviting risk for themselves and others. In most cases, I don’t see fund shortage primary reason but it is the habit of neglecting the importance of tires’ condition. Hopefully, you are not the one among those. And if your car needs tires change, do it without further delay.

Many people think that there is no need to change the tires till they start giving frequent trouble but this is wrong perception. Total use (35000- 40,000 Km) or presence of cuts or bulge or sidewall deep scratches or cracks or impression of serious impact or age (4-5 yrs) or left-out tread less than 2mm are the indications for change of tires. To get help in this regard, you may visit the outlets of branded tires like CEAT Tires , this service is provided free. When you go for the tires change, you see many options of size, make and brand apart from that of the factory fitted tires. Though professionals always advise to stay with the specifications of factory fitted tires but if you decide to change the size of tires, change all the four.

Even after having new tires in your car, you are expected to check tires health periodically to enjoy trouble free smooth driving. Tires may be under inflated without looking flat, so check the pressures compulsorily once a fortnight. Never forget to check the condition of spare tire. The Service Adviser of CEAT Tires told me that tires pressures should be checked when the tires are cold. Perfect balancing of wheel is must to get the performance of tires as per the claims of manufacturers.
