A simple, yet effective, mantra to help drivers remember the key steps
in tire safety.
The only thing between you and the road are your tires.

The only thing between you and the road are your tires.
At Road Ready Foundation, our vision is to create a world where individuals, families, and communities embrace tire safety as a fundamental aspect of responsible road behavior.
Our Story
On February 10, 2023, our family and community experienced an unimaginable loss after a tragic car accident. Jackson (our son, brother, and friend) was a passenger in the car and wearing a seatbelt. Although the driver was traveling under the speed limit given the inclement weather that day, the car hydroplaned and collided with an 18- wheeler. The police report indicated that the cause of the hydroplaning and overall accident was due to extremely worn tires with insufficient tread.
Now, more than ever, we are committed to educating ourselves and
our community on the importance of tire safety. Through education
and tire-specific programs and initiatives, our goal is for more drivers to
make informed decisions about tire care and maintenance.
