ation as required by 49 CFR 575.6(4) and is based in part on

Tire-Safety:-Everything-Rides-On-It
Studies of tire safety show that the most important things
you can do to avoid tire failure, blowouts and flat tires are:
• Maintain proper tire pressure.
• Observe tire and vehicle load limits.
(NEVER carry more weight in your vehicle
than your tires or vehicle can safely handle).
• Avoid road hazards.
• Drive within the designated tire speed ratings,
• Inspect tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities.
These actions, along with other care and maintenance
activities, can also:
• Improve vehicle handling.
• Help protect you and others from avoidable
breakdowns and accidents.
• Improve fuel economy.
• Increase the life of your tires.
Make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance
routine. Know that the time you spend is minimal compared
with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire
or other tire failure.
Basic Tire Maintenance - Safety First
Proper tire maintenance improves the stopping distance,
traction, steering, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle.
As mentioned above, to prevent flat tires and other types of
tire failure, you should maintain proper tire pressure, observe
tire and vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards, and regularly
inspect your tires.
See
, Tire Safety Tips.
Keep tires properly
inflated. A tire that is run
long distances or at high
speeds while seriously
under-inflated will overheat
to the point where the
tire may lose air suddenly
and/or catch fire, possibly
resulting in damage to the
vehicle and its contents
and/or personal injury.
