Before heading out on a road trip it is always a good idea to check your tires to save having that unexpected flat.
Firstly, look for any unevenly worn spots, or thin tread. If the tires don’t look to good and the tread is worn, it is worth while buying new ones – much better than having a potentially dangerous blow out in the middle of nowhere.
Make sure that you have all the tools you will need for changing a tire, such as a jack and a lug wrench as well as a spare tire. Check your owners’ manual to see where they are stowed and where to place the jack if you have to change a wheel.
Check that the spare is in good condition and not flat.
As well as these crucial items for changing a tire you might find it useful to carry a few other tools with you such as a flashlight and batteries, a kneeling mat, cover in case of rain, ’fix a flat’ foam and a tire gauge.
Just a few simple checks might help to prevent you from experiencing that sinking feeling when you know you have a flat tire.
