A tire blowout is not merely inconvenient: it is very dangerous. Some motorists have been injured in such incidents. To avoid a tire blowout, there are three things you can do to safely keep your tires rolling right along.
1) Inspect your tires often. Being aware of what is going on with your wheels is the first step in guarding against tire blowouts. Inspect the tire tread thoroughly. If you see that your tires are balding or wires protruding through the rubber, it is time to visit a mechanic.
2) Use a gauge to check the tire pressure. Check your user's manual to ensure that the reading on your tires is in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. If not, inflate it to the proper level.
3) Use appropriate weather tires. If you don't want to change your tires for the different seasons, purchase all-weather ones.
