With potholes, rough pavement and scattered debris making flat tires a frequent headache for local drivers, prevention is the best defense. Here’s what Tucson motorists can do now to reduce the chances of being sidelined.
Start with regular tire care. Check tire pressure at least once a month (and before long trips); underinflated or overinflated tires wear unevenly and are more prone to punctures. Inspect tread depth and look for cuts, bulges or embedded objects. Replace tires that are worn, cracked or older than manufacturers recommend.
Try a different route. We all have that road we take where there’s a bunch of pot holes. We try to be creative and maneuver around them, but hitting one seems unavoidable. Try a different route. If there’s another way you can take, give that a shot instead (your tires will thank you)…
