as
overloaded tires. The resulting accident
could cause serious injury. Check all tires
frequently to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be checked
when your tires are cold.
Overinflated tires are more likely to be cut,
punctured or broken by a sudden impact
--
such as when you hit a pothole, Keep tires
at the recommended pressure.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If your
tread is badly worn,
or
if your tires have
been damaged, replace them.
