Wheels and tires should not cause any particular problems if they are inspected regularly enough. Check and adjust tire pressure regularly. The pressure should be checked on cold tires and under no circumstances immediately after a trip. Never attempt to reduce the pressure in hot tires to the nominal value specified for cold tires, as after the tires cool down, the pressure in them will become less than the nominal value. Too low tire pressure causes them to overheat and grip poorly on the road surface. This in turn leads to reduced road grip and tire failure due to overheating.

Excessive tire pressure leads to premature wear of the center tread, which is accompanied by reduced traction, a "harsh" ride, and tire failure due to impact loads.

Inspect your tires regularly for cuts and bulges, especially on the sidewalls. Nails and glass that get into the tread should be removed before they cut through the rubber. If, after removing the nail, you find that the hole is already through, you should put it back in place to mark the puncture, immediately replace the wheel and take the damaged tire to a tire shop. In many cases, you can simply install a camera of the appropriate size and type inside.

Periodically, you should remove the wheels and clean them from dirt inside and out. Inspect the wheel rims for signs of corrosion and other defects. Alloy wheels often become deformed when hitting a curb, while steel wheels can warp and rust. Very often, when defects are detected, the only solution is to replace the wheel.

Wheels must be properly balanced to prevent premature wear and damage to suspension and steering components. A strong vibration of the body while driving, especially noticeable through the steering wheel, indicates wheel imbalance. Similarly, damage or defects in steering or suspension components can cause premature tire wear. Wheel balancing does not usually eliminate vibration caused by these factors.

Overall tire wear is largely determined by driving style - hard braking or acceleration, as well as high-speed turns, lead to faster tire wear. Rotating wheels helps to even out wear, but is only permitted if the same type of tires are used front and rear.

Uneven wear on the front tires can be caused by incorrect wheel alignment. Front wheel alignment must be checked and adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

It is better not to use different types of tires on the same car. The only acceptable combination is to have bias-ply tires on the front axle and radial tires on the rear axle. When using tires with different cords, fabric cord radials should run forward and steel cord radials should run backward.
