So what should be considered?

One of them is to check the air pressure, and make sure it is in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and measure it with a standard tool. In addition, you can check the TWI (Tire Wear Indicator) indicator, if the groove has touched the protrusion of 1.6 mm, the tire must be replaced.

In addition, you can check the physical condition of the tire and avoid using tires that are cracked, torn, or have bumps. Spare tires are important, so make sure they are ready to use and the tire pressure of the spare tire is ideally higher.

Finally, do spooring and balancing every 8,000-10,000 km or when the steering wheel vibrates or pulls to one side. Spooring and balancing will help support the vehicle's speed more stable, tires more durable and make the driver more comfortable.
