Neglected tires

Indeed, it is very important to pamper your car every day so that it does not pose a danger to you and other road users. Also for this, a technical inspection was introduced and therefore it has been mandatory for several decades for all cars in circulation. Soon, this applies to both two-wheelers and unlicensed vehicles. Because we know that it is very important to have a car in good condition to limit the risk of accidents. And among the most important points to check are, in particular, the tires. In fact, these are the only links between you and the road, so they should be subject to special control. However, in reality, everything is completely different. This is indeed what a recent study found Apollo tiresIndian tire manufacturer Vredestein.

A little check

Indeed, it turns out that the vast majority of motorists actually neglect to check their tires, particularly to make sure they are properly inflated. In fact, only 42% of drivers carry out this check regularly, that is, on average once a month, while this does not apply to 58% of respondents. 16% do it only once a quarter, while 4% don’t even think about it. However, we know that checking your car’s tires is very important. In fact, driving with under-swollen gums makes the behavior more unstable and increases the risk of a break and therefore an accident. In addition, underinflated tires also increase fuel consumption. With an increase of up to 10%, which is not little, especially in this period of rising gas prices!
