Tires are the single most important mechanical component of vehicle control and safe driving. FIVE UNSEEN DANGERS OF WORN TIRES. HEAT BUILD-UP Worn tire tread increases
heat build-up. As the distance between the tire and the road decreases
due to less tread, less airflow is available between the road and the
tire. Heat is the great enemy of tire rubber and a major factor in tire
failure. PUNCTURE Tire tread protects the tire casing from puncture.
Worn out tread greatly increases the chances for a tire blowout due to
puncture.
HYDROPLANING Worn tire tread can cause hydroplaning, a problem that can begin at about 5/32? of tread remaining.
BALANCE, ALIGNMENT Tire balance and
suspension alignment problems that cause dangerous tire wear can easily
go unnoticed by most drivers. This new safety system makes these
problems obvious and correctable. UNDER INFLATION Tires with worn
tread are more likely to be seriously under inflated. This condition can
adversely impact steering, braking and fuel mileage. DRIVERS DON'T KNOW WHEN THEIR TIRES ARE UNSAFE. Two
out of three drivers do not know how to tell if their tires are bald,
according to the Rubber Manufacturers Association. Nearly one in 10
vehicles on our roads today is driving with at least one bald tire
(2/32" of tread remaining), according to the U. S. Department of
Transportation. That means nearly 23-million vehicles are driving with a
bald tire (based on 230-million vehicles registered in the United
States). Worn tire tread can lead to tragic tire blowout and hydroplaning accidents.
