Tips for driving:

Velocity
Driving at excessive speed has adverse effects on the tyres, particularly during summery high temperatures. This will always result in increased attrition and sometimes even in a spontaneous collapse. Therefore you should observe some simple rules: Never drive at maximum speed on hot days or if your car is carrying heavy loads, e.g. when going on holiday with additional luggage on the roof. Don't exceed the permissible maximum speed of your tyres. Attention: Trailers are sometimes designed for a maximum speed of only 80 km/h. This applies in particular for older models. Trailers built after 1989 must be designed for a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Winter tyres usually have a speed limit of 160 km/h or 190 km/h.

Loading
Moderation is applicable not only to the driving speed but also to the load. Of course you need plenty of luggage for your holiday, and of course the car documents state a certain permissible maximum weight. Nevertheless, be sensible and don't load up to the permissible limit. An overloaded car has a modified driving behaviour and an increased contact surface for dangerous side winds, and moreover it overstrains the brakes. The tyres are those components of the car which suffer most from overloading. Therefore, don't exceed the permissible maximum weight. Consider that you might easily misestimate the weight of your luggage, so weigh it if in doubt. And don't forget to include the roof rack in your calculation. Of course this applies to a caravan in the same way as to a limousine.

Parking
As stated before: modern tyres can cope with a lot of stress. Yet, everything has is limits. The kerb is enemy no. 1 of your tyres. Hard contacts with the kerb damage the structure of the tyres and precondition later occurrences such as the tread coming off or the tyre even bursting. Everybody who has experienced this on the motorway at high speed will be glad to observe two simple rules in the future. When parking on the roadside, it is better to reverse one or two times more than to scrape the kerb with the flank of the tyres. If you have to traverse a kerb, do it slowly and at right angles if possible.
