Tyres
Select the correct tyre and inner tube size and specifications for your vehicle and ensure that they are not defective.
Worn out tyres or tubes with multiple patches are very unsafe. The traffic officer or Marshal can stop or warn for defective tyres.

Tyre Pressure
Road traffic crash research has shown that tyre defect and "blow outs" constitute a high incidence factor.
Ensure that your tyres, including the spares are correctly inflated at all times in accordance with the recommended level for the tyre type.
Check the manuals of your vehicles and the size of the tyre for the correct pressure.

Under Inflation
Contrary to what some drivers believe, under inflated tyres are bound to cause road crashes by sudden blow-out, peeling or tearing at the sides.
Do not under inflate your tyres hoping that they will inflate themselves as you drive along.
