Is there any damage to them? Are they the right size? Are they fitted securely? Particularly, don’t trust the tires that are already on the vehicle if the car is pre-owned or used. Even if the tires look like they are in good condition, you still need to check whether they are suitable for that particular make and model of car. Tire manufacturer’s recommendation are good for different conditions. It’s your responsibility to ensure that you have the proper equipment fitted on your vehicle.
