Sudden braking and sudden acceleration should be avoided at the first 100 km distance until the newly purchased tires reach their ideal performance, the vehicle should be used at an average speed and the cornering angles should be reduced.

 

Tire Repair
When your tire has blown, it is necessary to inspect the tire internally and externally to see if it is repairable. The tire should be repaired by experts.
