Take this week to learn how to correctly check your tires. Then get into the habit of checking your tires at least once a month. To learn how to correctly check your tires, check out this handy brochure from the Rubber Manufacturers Association titled “Be Tire Smart, Play Your PART – Pressure, Alignment, Rotation, Tread”.
A quick reference guide on Tire Maintenance and Safety is located HERE.
The Rubber Manufacturers Association also put together a free tire safety curriculum. The curriculum includes a student guide
and a teacher guide. The curriculum includes a pre-test, tire pressure, wheel alignment, tire balance, tire rotation, tire tread depth, and tire maintenance. If you would like to put up a tire safety poster, get it HERE.
