Hi Everybody,
It's common observation here in Doha that during summer times there is a big hike in traffic accidents related to bursting of tires. Just today I saw one Patrol having an accident due to tire burst right on Salwa road. Driver was lucky that he didn't hit another vehicle or something. There are lot more incidents like this on daily basis. Already death toll from road accidents is among highest this Summer. So my question and sort of request is that, can somebody share some really useful tips regarding tires, tire pressure and other precautions for movement by road? It will really help most of us.
Thanks.

That is why we should always choose such tyres which are long lasting so that they do not wear out or burst in any kind of conditions. I prefer Michelin tyres as they are the best suited and tested for every type of condition. Their high quality rubber make them very long lasting as compared to other brands.
