The authors wish to express gratitude to Lublin University of Technology for financial support given to
the present publication (Arkadiusz Gola). The research was carried out under financial support obtained from the
research subsidy of the Faculty of Engineering Management (WIZ) of Bialystok University of Technology. From
the grant No. WZ/WIZ/4/2019 (Olga Orynycz, Andrzej Wasiak).
The social cost, as one of the factors determining sustainability of socio-economic
development, is strongly dependent upon a number of casualties and mortality in road accidents.
The condition of car tires appears to be one of the important factors determining the occurrence of
accidents. The vast majority of vehicles are tested every year at vehicle inspection stations. One of
the elements affecting the result of the technical condition test and basically the quality of vehicle
braking is the technical condition of the tires. Their technical condition is a very important factor
responsible for the quality of acceleration, braking, maintaining, or changing the direction of
driving. As a consequence, it has a significant impact on road safety. The aim of the study is to
examine the impact of tires on the results of tests performed at a vehicle inspection station. The
study presents the results of bench measurements of the impact of selected features of tire
condition of two vehicles during routine periodic inspections at a vehicle inspection station (VIS).
The focus was on an attempt to assess the impact of inflation pressure, age, and tire tread wear on
the braking process. The technical studies performed might be a source for legal steps assuring
better management of road safety. It can also be expected that the tire choice and condition may
affect fuel consumption, and therefore the amount of energy consumed by the road transport.
