Though they're easy to overlook, your tires are actually quite sophisticated. When they're doing their job, they're holding air inside at a constant pressure, despite rough terrain and changing weather. In some cases, though, this task becomes too much for your tires, resulting in a blowout that can cause an accident in Lexington. To help prevent this fate, here are some important safety tips to keep your tires in good working order.
The best favor you can do for yourself is to inspect your tires before every trip. Though it may seem like a waste of time, a quick walk around of your vehicle can reveal issues with your tires that you would otherwise miss. During this inspection, you can look for cracks, bulges, and other unusual tire characteristics that weren't there before. Additionally, on a regular basis, you'll want to check the air pressure in all four tires to ensure they are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended specifications.
