KUALA LUMPUR: The complacent attitude of motorcyclists towards tyre safety, whether in terms of tread condition, air pressure or wear level, could significantly increase the risk of road accidents, says an academic.
Universiti Putra Malaysia’s Road Safety Research Centre head Assoc Prof Dr Law Teik Hua said public awareness on tyre safety remains low, with many unaware of how to assess tyre conditions, such as reading the tread wear indicator (TWI) or checking expiry dates.
