I’m a car expert… here are the five tyre safety tips to stop your wheels blowing up – it could save your life
AN expert has revealed five crucial tyre safety tips which could prevent a potentially fatal blow out.
Many serious road accidents are linked to blow outs and now TikTok star Xiao Qiao has provided some crucial tips on tyre safety.
The motoring experts advises drivers to always check the production date on a tyre before making a purchase.
She said that if the tyre is over a year old it is classed as stock and is deemed to be a risk. She said: “So don’t buy it.”
The TikTok star also advised drivers to check the index letters on the tyre before buying. She said that a family car needed a resistance of 300 or above.
And that a tyre’s grade for grip and traction should be A or above. She said: “Never choose B grade tyres or there will be a risk of a blow-out.”
She informed that the speed rating on the tyre dictated how fast the car could travel without a risk of a blow-out. She gave the example of a H rating which meant a car could travel up to 210 km per hour.
She said: “If you exceed this speed you risk a blow-out.”
Last month the expert posted a video which revealed how many cars had fridge facilities which drivers were unaware of.
She explained how the fridges were important when trying to keep drinks and food cold during long trips in warm weather.
