Tire safety starts with knowledge

Tire Safety

Four fundamentals every driver should understand before the next trip, season, or tire service.
01

Inspection

Check tread depth, inflation, sidewalls, and overall condition regularly. If you see a bulge, cut, exposed cord, unusual wear, or ongoing pressure loss, have the tire inspected promptly.

02

Winter tires

Cold-weather compounds and winter tread patterns provide better grip as temperatures fall. Install four matching winter tires for balanced braking, steering, and handling.

03

Pressure monitoring

TPMS is a warning system—not a replacement for manual checks. Use an accurate gauge when tires are cold and follow the pressure listed on the vehicle placard.

04

Proper repair

A qualified technician must remove the tire from the wheel and inspect it inside and out. Not every puncture location or type of damage can be repaired safely.
