Check the condition of your tyres regularly: - Check the tyre pressure with the tyres cold, using a pressure gauge. It must be the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. - Check that the tread is above the tread wear indicators; otherwise, you will have less stability on the road, you will need many more metres to brake and you will increase the risk of losing control of the vehicle when driving on water. - Make sure they have no cuts, deformations or irregularities.
