As temperatures are on the rise, maintaining one's car and conducting timely inspections is pertinent to safety.
One among many inspections that residents must conduct is a tyre inspection. Tyres may often burst due to multiple reasons ranging from heat pressure, overloading, damage and inflation to the age and quality of the tyre.
UAE residents and citizens will now be able to get their vehicle's tyres checked for free in Ajman. The Ajman Transport Authority is holding the campaign until September 1, 2024.

The authority has also shared ways to protect one's tyres:
- Avoid stopping frequently and sudden acceleration
- Ensure proper tyre rotation
- Avoid exposure of tyres to impact
- Drive the vehicle for a short distance at least once every two weeks
- Maintain recommended tyre pressure level set by manufacturer
Earlier, Dubai Police issued safety tips that motorists must follow to stay safe and avoid accidents. These are:
- Motorists must ensure tyre validity and that there are no vibrations.
- Motorists must occasionally keep checking tyres for cracks and bulges.
- Drivers should regularly keep changing the engine oil.
