It has been calculated recently that due to tyre negligence in Abu Dhabi 13 people have died in comparison to the 6 last year in the same time period.
By them not doing regular check ups on their tyres, they burst and caused the driver to loose control of their cars.
“There is a higher probability for a tyre to burst during the summer,” Dr Abdulilah Zineddin said. “And the tyres should be checked by professionals, not just the drivers themselves.”
“Each vehicle has its own specifications,” he said. “So before purchasing tyres, you should check your vehicle’s users manual in order to make sure you buy a suitable tyre.”
“If the treads are worn out, it could affect your braking,” Mr Hara said.
Air pressure, he said, was the second-most important factor. A tyre with low air pressure is more likely to burst, especially in warm climates.
“The tyre expands in hot weather,” he said. “So if the air pressure is low, more heat is generated. The tyre then cannot handle the heat, so it bursts. An excess of air pressure is also just as dangerous.”
