Bridgestone continues to encourage its customers, operators, and other industry personnel to follow guidelines regarding tyre maintenance through campaigns like #CheckedbyBridgestone, which aims at promoting safety in the mobility sector.

Proper tyre maintenance is crucial as it directly impacts fuel consumption, emissions, and overall performance. Factors such as tyre age, wear and tear, and inflation pressure significantly contribute to ensuring safety, ride comfort, and stability, especially on loose or wet roads. By maintaining the correct inflation pressure, tyres can minimize rolling resistance, leading to improved efficiency, reduced wear, and lower fuel consumption.
