Tyre maintenenace
Underinflated tyres can lead to:
- Poor handling and difficulty performing precise maneuvers
- Increased risk of punctures
- Greater wear and tear, especially on the outer edges
Overinflated tyres may result in:
- Reduced contact with the road, affecting grip and traction
- Increased stress on the tyre structure, shortening its lifespan
- Excessive wear in the center of the tread
Damage and defects
Cuts and punctures: Caused by sharp objects on the road, these can lead to air loss and potential tyre failure
Cracking and bulging: Often resulting from impact damage (e.g., hitting potholes or curbs), these issues may require tyre replacement
Sidewall indentations: While often harmless, these should be inspected by a professional if you're unsure
Other Issues
Worn tread: Tyres with tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm need immediate replacement
Slow punctures: Gradual air loss can indicate a small puncture or leak
Misalignment: Can cause uneven wear and affect handling
Uneven tyre wear
Uneven tyre wear can manifest in several ways:
One-sided wear: This may indicate alignment or suspension issues
Center wear: Often a sign of overinflation
Outer edge wear: Typically caused by underinflation
Patchy or uneven wear patterns: Can suggest problems with suspension components or wheel alignment
