What is required when checking the tires during a pre-trip inspection?

When checking the tires during a pre-trip inspection, it's essential that they have uniform tread depth and show no visible damage. Uniform tread depth is crucial for maintaining consistent traction on the road, improving handling, and ensuring even wear on the tires. Any visible damage, such as cuts, punctures, or bulges, can compromise the integrity of the tires, leading to blowouts or other failures while driving.

This thorough inspection helps to ensure the safety of the vehicle, the driver, and other road users. Monitoring these aspects of tire health is critical to preventing accidents caused by tire failure, which can occur if the tires are not adequately checked before a trip.
