Yes, vehicles are held up and supported by the air chamber formed within tyres. Under-inflation is the most common cause of tyre damage.
In the worst cases, an extremely under-inflated tyre will burst and can cause serious traffic accidents.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You can check this by referring to the tyre placard fitted to your car. The tyre placard indicates the correct size, speed rating and local capacity, as well as the recommended inflation pressures. The placard is fitted to all vehicles manufactured since 1973 and is usually contained in the glove box, on the drivers door pillar or under the front bonnet. You should consult your local Mintys for specific advice.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When tread wears down to less than 1.6mm, the tyre may be unsafe to use in wet conditions and should be replaced as soon as possible. Tyres have indicators in their tread pattern which show as lines across the thread when reduced to 1.6mm.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In many cases, \u201cHeel and Toe\u201d wear occurs because of a lack in maintenance, mismatched inflation or incorrect driving habits.
Severe \u201cHeel and Toe\u201d wear can cause excess tyre noise and vehicle vibration.v<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

<\/main>

Sealants should only be used as a temporary emergency measure. After a puncture, tyres should be inspected internally by your local Minty\u2019s specialist to assess the damage. Sealants often do not fully inflate the tyre and the vehicle should be driven at reduced speeds until the tyre can be changed or permantly repaired. The use of sealants may invalidate tyre warranties.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
