The German noun 'Reifen' refers to a tire in English. It is a circular rubber covering that fits around the rim of a wheel, providing traction and enabling vehicles to move smoothly on the road.
In Germany, as in many other countries, Reifen are an essential component of automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and other wheeled vehicles. They come in various sizes and designs depending on the type of vehicle and its intended use.
Proper maintenance of Reifen is crucial for ensuring safety on the roads. Regular inspection for wear and tear, correct inflation pressure, and appropriate tread depth are important factors to consider when using Reifen.
