Let’s be honest; most of us have been there and gone through the nightmare of a flat tyre. No matter if you park your car along the roadside or your own driveway, the problem of flat tyre would have been popped up some time in your life.

Getting stuck roadside late at night or in inclement weather. Frightening! Isn’t it? These situations can seriously endanger a driver’s safety and a hazard for all road users. There’s no definitive way to prevent flat tyres, but proper maintenance and knowledge of the following causes can help you minimize the chances of it.

Sharp Objects

Puncture from sharp objects is one of the most common reasons for a flat tyre. Any sharp objects like a piece of glass, nail, screw, wire or any piece of sharp metal can cause tyre punctures. You can avoid this problem by driving cautiously around construction, roadworks and on poorly-maintained roads.

Bad Road Conditions

Potholes and uneven roads are the worst nightmares for any driver and we all know certain areas around Nantwich, middlewich, Sandbach, Alsager and Congleton that are not in perfect condition. Not only do they ruin your driving experience, but they also cause potentially serious damage on your vehicle’s undercarriage, axles, and wheels. However, you can take safety measures to ensure your tyres from being damaged in adverse road conditions. Drive slowly and keep a proper distance from the cars moving ahead as it will give you more time to react if a pothole appears on the road.

Improper inflation

Properly inflated tyres with the right pressure are essential if you want to have a safe ride. If the tyres are under inflated, they can cause internal tyre damage, thereby creating a severe road injury or crash. You can avoid this by checking the tyre pressure reguarly to ensure the correct PSI.

Wear and Tear

Even normal wear and tear causes a flat tyre. Regular driving eventually outwears the tread on the tyres, making them more exposed to everyday hazards of driving and increase the chances of a flat tyre. You can do a few things to avoid flat tyre when the tyre wears out by warding off fast starts and stops, maintaining your recommended tyre pressure, getting your wheels aligned regularly, and getting your tyres rotated regularly.

Heat

When the temperature rises, it causes the air in your tyres to expand this increases the internal pressure in your tyres, leading to enhanced chances of flat tyres. You can avoid from such situations by checking your tyre pressure before hitting the road. In the summer, avoid driving with over-inflated tyres.
