The most common mistakes in the care and use
of your car’s tyres
July 2, 2025
Tyres play a crucial role in the safety and performance of a vehicle. That’s why it’s important
not only to get the tyre right, but also to get it right, which is often not the case. In order to
get the most out of your car’s ‘shoes’, Bridgestone, a global leader in premium tyres and
sustainable mobility solutions, reminds you of the most common tyre care mistakes and how to
avoid them.

Incorrect tyre pressure:
Whether through carelessness or lack of knowledge, many drivers do not regularly check their
tyre pressure. This is not at all advisable: driving with a tyre pressure below that
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer can lead to premature tyre degradation (especially
on the sidewalls), carcass fatigue, a high risk of a blowout and increased fuel consumption. Nor
should you drive with high tyre pressure, above the recommended load: the rubber contacts
the road less and loses grip, premature degradation occurs in the central part of the tread and
the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour is worse.
To avoid all these problems, it is best to check the tyre pressure (when cold) once a month or
before a long journey. The manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressure is given in the vehicle
handbook.
