Tyres
Wheelchair tyres play a crucial role in the performance of a wheelchair. They should always be installed correctly. If the tyres are not properly or overinflated, they'll lose their rigidity and this impacts handling, cornering and stopping. A properly inflated tyre distributes the weight of the user across the tread pattern to provide maximum stability and agility. Incorrect tyre inflation could lead to premature wear, particularly on the edges or the centre of the tyre. The tyres must be checked frequently, and should be topped up if needed. The pressure of the tyre is typically printed on the tyre so the process of checking it is quite simple.
