The Hidden Truth About Tyres in Monsoon – Grip, Pressure & Safety Tips
Slick roads, hidden potholes, sudden braking: it's the ultimate stress test for your car. If your tyres aren’t ready, you’re playing with risk.
Let's get to the point. Here's the no-nonsense tyre guide for monsoons. Facts. Solutions. No BS.
Grip is God
“Car owners should take measures to ensure the safety of the car and its occupants during monsoons. Check your tyres for wear and tear, for grip on slippery roads, keep interiors disinfected to avoid smells and make use of technology in case of an emergency.” - Atul Aggarwal, General Manager, Nissan India
When it rains, grip saves you. Lose grip and you're on the ground.
Worn tyres don’t channel water. You lose control and start sliding. It’s that simple.
Quick Test: Get a 1-rupee coin. Insert it into your tyre tread. If the ₹ symbol's fully visible, the tread’s too shallow. Time for new shoes for your car.
Minimum Safe Tread Depth: 3 mm. Lower than that, you're inviting trouble.

Tyre Pressure Means Performance
Cooler temperatures lower tyre pressure. Low pressure makes your car sluggish, guzzles more fuel, and wears out tyres faster.
Overinflate them, and it’s no better. The tyres don’t grip the road properly. Stopping becomes harder.
Do This:
- Stick to the pressure your car manufacturer recommends.
- It’s listed on the driver’s door or in the manual.
- Check every week. Cold tyres only.
- Don’t guess. Use a pressure gauge.
- All MyFNG service centres do it right. Fast, clean, and no waiting.
Your Spare Tyre Isn’t Decor
Flat tyre in the rain? Classic monsoon moment. But if your spare is flat or cracked, you’re stranded.
Check This:
- Is it properly inflated?
- Rubber showing cracks?
- Older than 6 years?
- If yes, it’s useless. Check it monthly. Keep it ready. It’s your backup when things go wrong.
Alignment and Balancing Matter
Every pothole throws off your alignment. You won’t always notice, but your tyres will.
Look for These Signs:
- The car pulls to one side
- The steering wheel shakes
- Uneven tyre wear
- Misalignment ruins grip and increases tyre bills. Get it checked every 6,000 to 8,000 km or after a hard pothole hit.
- MyFNG gets it done right. No guesswork.
Tyres Too Old? Don’t Wait for Trouble
Tyres have a shelf life. Don’t treat them like they’re permanent.
Replace If:
- Tread depth is less than 2 mm
- You see visible cracks or bulges
- They're more than 5 years old
- You’ve driven over 40,000 km on them
- Unsure? Let MyFNG experts check them. Honest advice. No upsell.
Use the Right Tyres
Daily long drives? Rain-soaked roads? You need the right set.
Monsoon-rated tyres are worth it:
- Deeper grooves
- Better water drainage
- Softer rubber for improved grip
- Or go for all-weather tyres if you want one set that handles it all.
- Not sure? We’ll help you choose. MyFNG stocks trusted brands and gives straight-up guidance.
