Your tyres are the only part of the car touching the road, which is why it pays to keep them in good condition. One of the simplest ways to do that is keeping them clean and free of debris.
Why it matters
- Debris like stones, glass and metal fragments can damage the rubber and lead to punctures.
- Dirt and grime build up on tyres, reducing their lifespan and performance.
- Clean tyres make it easier to spot cuts, bulges and uneven wear early.
The difference it makes
- Better handling — you'll notice damage before it becomes a problem.
- Extended tyre life — debris damages rubber, and damaged rubber fails sooner.
- Salt air on the Bayside is hard on wheels and valve stems — a rinse helps.
How to maintain clean tyres
- Regularly inspect your tyres for debris and remove anything you find.
- Wash your tyres with soap and water to remove dirt and grime.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and solvents that degrade the rubber.
- Check tyre pressures at the same time — it only takes a minute.
