Tire, Tire Maintenance, And Tire Safety

Tire maintenance and timely replacement is essential for tire safety. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were 612 fatalities linked to tire safety issues in 2019. In their Tire Wise brochure, the NHTSA also shares that:

• 25% of cars have at least one tire that is significantly underinflated

• Only 19% of consumers check their tire inflation as recommended

• While newer vehicles (post-2007) have built-in tire inflation sensors, these don’t usually engage until the tires are already significantly low in pressure
  

Don’t let a lapse in tire maintenance cause an accident for you or a loved one. And, take heart! Keeping up on tire maintenance saves you money. Not only will you reduce the number of times you invest in tire repair or replacement, driving on properly maintained and inflated tires.
