How can you tell if your tires are worn?
- The tire is older than 5 years.
- The tire is old/dried out, causing cracks in the rubber.
- The tire has little to no tread left.
- The tire is no longer round but has, for example, bumps or damage.
- The tire is worn unevenly and not on the tread where it should be.
- A plug was once shot in to temporarily seal a leak.
- The scooter no longer rides well/comfortably.
What do you notice when your tires are worn?
If your tires are worn or have a strange shape (for example an egg/bump in the tire) then you will notice that the scooter no longer rides smoothly and comfortably. Especially in the bends the scooter can feel unstable and in addition the scooter can pull to the side. Less profile of course also means less grip, which gives you a longer braking distance. This is not only dangerous for your own safety, but also for others. Prevent dangerous situations and damage to your scooter and therefore replace your tires in time. Better too early than too late, because an accident will be a lot more expensive than a new set of tires.
In addition to your own safety, you also have the chance of a fine. At the time of writing, the fine for driving with worn tires is €160!
