Checking tires:
Tire pressure :
To check your tire pressure, you can use an inflator, following the instructions on your tires or on the manufacturer's label. Be careful not to over-inflate your tires, as this could have an impact on your driving and damage your tires.
Tire wear:
To check the wear of your tires, simply run your hand over the tire and check the wear indicators. In the vast majority of cases, the indicator takes the form of a small, raised triangle.
If your tires are smooth and you don't find any wear indicators slightly raised from the tire, you'll need to change the wheel quickly to ensure your safety on the road.
A spare tire:
A very important item not to forget is the spare tire or puncture-proof kit to be prepared in case of a problem.
