lead
to
a tire fire
that
would
be extremely dif-
ficult
to
extinguish.
Make
it
a
habit
to
check
tire
pressures
with
an accurate tire gauge before each trip,
and
when
re-fueling give each tire a sharp rap
on
the
tread
surface
with
a
hammer
or
similar object. Properly
inflated tires produce a
"bung"
sound
when
rapped.
If
the
tire is flat,
the
sound will be a dull
"thud".
