Is It Safe to Drive on a Tire with a Bubble?

posted on 6/25/2020 9:35:24 AM

Bubbles in your tires are generally caused by impacts on the road. Hitting the edges of potholes, small collisions, hitting a curb and speed bumps can all cause the sidewall to bulge in your tires.

Tires that have a bubble are not safe to drive. When your tire has a bubble, the fabric of the...

posted on 5/15/2020 7:49:48 AM

Keeping your tires properly inflated is a key to getting the maximum fuel efficiency from your vehicle. Properly inflated tires also reduce tread wear, improve your car’s stopping distance, and decrease the chances of a blowout.

Road Hazards: How to Protect Your Tires Against Common Road Debris

posted on 2/14/2020 9:28:59 AM

Good tires are not cheap, so it is important that you do everything you can to extend the life of your tires. Because a vehicle’s tires are the first point of contact, road hazards such as small rocks, trash, debris, salt and chemicals can be hazardous while driving. Attempting to avoid road debris is dangerous because — both visually and mentally — it is hard to process the hazard level of an object in the few seconds a driver has to react. Drivers who encounter road debris, often don't hav...
