"Everything you need to know about what's going on with your wheel alignment or balancing, tyre pressure and even your shocks, is imprinted on your tyres. The trick is knowing how to read these clues," says Group Marketing Executive Joe du Plooy.
Here are some hints from the tyre experts at Tiger Wheel & Tyre on what your tread is telling you:
"When it comes to getting the safest, longest use from your tyres, prevention is better (and cheaper!) than cure," added du Plooy. "By regularly inflating your tyres to the manufacturer-recommended pressures; checking your wheel balancing and alignment; rotating your tyres every 10,000 km or every time you hit an obstacle; and maintaining your vehicle's suspension, you can enjoy many more kilometers of safe driving than you might otherwise."
