        "summary": "A Bridgestone Indonesia official outlines key checks for tyres ahead of long journeys, including air pressure, tread wear to 1.6 mm, and the importance of a ready spare kit. The piece also provides March 2026 price ranges for various tyre models from multiple brands to guide consumers.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, Kompas.com \u2013 Car tyres are often regarded as trivial, yet\nthey play a vital role in safety and comfort. No matter how long the\njourney, tyre condition should be a primary concern as it directly\naffects vehicle stability, especially at high speeds or when carrying\nfull loads. Fisa Rizqiano, Head of Original Equipment (OE) Sales at\nBridgestone Indonesia, explains there are several fundamental points\ndrivers should check before long trips to maintain safety and\ncomfort.<\/p>\n<p>First, air pressure must be checked. Tyre pressure should follow the\nmanufacturer\u2019s recommendations and measurements should be taken with a\nstandard, accurate gauge. In addition to pressure, drivers should check\nthe Tire Wear Indicator (TWI). If the tread surface has worn down to the\n1.6 mm tread wear indicator, the tyre is no longer fit for use. \u201cIf the\ntread has reached the 1.6 mm indicator, tyres must be replaced,\u201d Fisa\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Next, inspect the tyre\u2019s physical condition comprehensively. Cracks,\ntears, or bulges on the sidewall signal a risk of structural failure,\nparticularly on long trips with high operating temperatures. Equally\nimportant, ensure a spare tyre is ready. Fisa recommends the spare tyre\npressure be set somewhat higher than the main tyre, around 5 psi, so it\nis ready for use in emergencies. \u201cEnsure the spare tyre or tyre repair\nkit is ready to use, with the spare tyre pressure ideally about 5 psi\nhigher,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, he reminded the importance of regular toe alignment\n(spooring) and balancing, ideally every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometres or\nwhen the steering begins to vibrate or pull to one side. \u201cToe alignment\nand balancing help keep the vehicle\u2019s movement stable, extend tyre life,\nand improve driving comfort,\u201d Fisa said.<\/p>\n<p>If the tyre condition no longer meets safety standards, replacement\nis the best step. It is recommended to replace a full set or all four\ntyres to ensure uniform wear and consistent performance, keeping the\nvehicle stable in different road conditions.<\/p>\n<p>For reference, below is a price range for car tyres in March 2026\ncompiled from various sources:<\/p>\n<p>165 R13<\/p>\n<p>Hankook RA18 Rp 759.000<\/p>\n<p>165\/80 R13<\/p>\n<p>Hankook K435 Rp 645.000<\/p>\n<p>175 R13<\/p>\n<p>Hankook RA18 Rp 829.000<\/p>\n<p>175\/70 R13<\/p>\n<p>Hankook K435 Rp 475.000<\/p>\n<p>175\/65<\/p>\n<p>BF Goodrich Rp 802.000<\/p>\n<p>Bridgestone Ecopia EP-150 Rp 829.000<\/p>\n<p>Bridgestone New Techno Rp 739.000<\/p>\n<p>Dunlop Sp Touring R1 Rp 711.750<\/p>\n<p>GT Radial Champiro Ecotec Rp 671.200<\/p>\n<p>Hankook K435 Rp 685.000<\/p>\n<p>185\/70 R14<\/p>\n<p>BF Goodrich Rp 906.000<\/p>\n<p>Bridgestone New Techno Rp 759.000<\/p>\n<p>Dunlop Sp Touring R1 Rp 704.250<\/p>\n<p>GT Radial Champiro Ecotec Rp 719.200<\/p>\n<p>Hankook K435 Rp 705.000<\/p>\n<p>195\/70 R14<\/p>\n<p>BF Goodrich Rp 966.000<\/p>\n<p>Dunlop Sp Touring R1 Rp 824.250<\/p>\n<p>175\/65 R15<\/p>\n<p>BF Goodrich Rp 924.000<\/p>\n<p>Dunlop Sp Touring R1 Rp 756.750<\/p>\n<p>Hankook K435 Rp 845.000<\/p>",
