Tire safety

It is not enough to mount high-quality tires on your vehicle. They must also meet certain performance and safety criteria to have a safe drive anywhere and anytime. Tires are not only a component that helps the vehicle to move forward. These are the "connecting bridges" between the car and the pavement. The external structure of the tire is what establishes the grip on the road.

Choosing the right tire can sometimes be a headache. You have to choose the right tire for the road, weather conditions, and driving style, and you also have to be careful with its size. Many drivers face the confusion of sizes thinking that a small difference is not a big deal. But is it so? The most popular tires are 225, 245, and 265 inches. They share many common aspects, which is why drivers face difficulty choosing the right size.

When it comes to tires, one of the most important aspects is the pressure in them. Reasonable pressure is the key to a safe and comfortable ride. Also, the longevity of the tire depends directly on how correctly the tire is inflated. Any expert will confirm that too much or too little pressure is just as harmful to your tires as it is to the stability of the car on the road in general. Luckily, many of us enjoy modern cars equipped with TPMS sensors...

Without a doubt, electric vehicles are capturing an ever-increasing market. It seems that the advantages of range, reduced costs on fuel, and comfort are convincing reasons for drivers to switch to electric cars. However, like any other type of vehicle, EVs have tires with a certain shelf life. If your EV tires need replacement already, you must be very careful with choosing a suitable set.

Let's talk about the worst tire advice! The topic is critical both for the drivers' safety and for the tires' "health"! Unfortunately, many sources give wrong advice regarding the correct use of tires. Or, it may be that the neighbor, fellow, or some "know-it-all" guy recommends some tips that he is sure are the best. But what would a mechanic say if he knew you were applying these pieces of advice?

If we find ourselves with a damaged tire, the first question that arises is whether we need to repair or replace it. Of course, the simpler and more cost-effective option is to repair it. But, arriving at a technical service center, the specialist tells us that the repair is impossible and all we can do is replace the tire with a new one. How do we know if tire damage is so serious that the tire can no longer be repaired? In which cases does the repair make sense...

After choosing the vehicle, choosing the right tires for it is probably one of the most difficult tasks. Not only do you have to take into account the right size and lower rating, but you also have to choose the tread according to the road conditions and weather versatility. When picking the right tires for trucks and pickups, things become even more complex. These massive and powerful vehicles need the right tires...

Choosing the right tire is not as simple a task as it seems. This is more of a challenge for most drivers. Few of them manage to understand how important it is to choose a tire that properly corresponds to the weather and road conditions. Ironically, many end up criticizing the performance of the chosen tires without realizing that maybe they did not choose the right option for the conditions in which they drive most often...

"Tire socks" is a term that is becoming more and more popular among drivers and motorcyclists. Many know them as "Snowsocks" and they look like textile covers that would be used for their storage. But, they actually do not have the property of protecting the tires when you store them for a certain period of time. Instead, they have the role of increasing the traction and stability of the vehicle in winter conditions...

Road accidents are a real nightmare. Each driver sets off on the road being sure that he will reach his destination quickly, safely, and soundly. But the truth is that we can never be sure of this. Anything can happen on the road. Even if we are maximally cautious behind the wheel, another driver might not be, which can lead to an eventual accident with milder or more severe consequences...
