Did you know that by making sure that your car tyres are inflated properly, you can reduce your fuel bill and ensure the rubber lasts longer due to fact there is less friction between the rubber compound and the road when the car tyres are correctly inflated. When it comes to 4×4 driving, my personal experience has been that most Michelin car tyres are quite average. My four-wheeled beast swears by Bridgestone, which were purchased from cheap 4×4 tyres.

Car tyres are checked for safety by measuring the tread. They are made of a special and very resilient type of rubber. Car tyres are flat with more surface area, whereas bike tyres are more curved to get us round corners quicker and with more grip. It should go without saying, but if you know that your car tyres are worn, then you need to replace them as soon as you can to prevent an accident. This is important because if the car tyres are very worn, the film of water on the road builds up in front of them and underneath them and actually lifts them off road surface.
