difficult or time consuming. By following these tips,
you can ensure safe performance, top mileage and
longer tire life for your car.
4.
Check the tire pressure
It is essential to check tire pressures at least once a
month. There are several places you can find the correct
pressure level for your vehicle: the vehicle’s owner
manual, inside the gas tank lid, the driver’s side
doorframe and on the door post. Remember the air
pressure listed on the side of your tire is not the correct
air pressure, but the maximum level for your car. Check
the air pressure when the tire is cold because the
pressure is highly affected by temperature.
5.
Check the tread depth
Worn down tire tread is more likely to cause a sliding
accident and lower the traction of your car. It is
recommended to replace your tires before the treads get
less than 1/16 of an inch. Using “wear bars,” or built-in
tread wear indicators, is a good way to determine tread
depth. If you see these narrow strips of smooth rubber,
you should replace the tires.
6.
Store the tires in proper conditions
It is very important to keep tires in the right place. To
prevent changes in the tire rubber, you should avoid
storing tires in a place where the temperature is above
77 ºF or below 32 ºF. It is also necessary to keep your
tires away from any form of oils or solvents. Tires
should also be kept away from ozone-producing
equipment, such as fluorescence lamps, as ozone has a
very strong deteriorating effect on tires.
7.
Rotate your tires regularly
Regular tire rotation will help to get uniform wear on
all your tires. To avoid irregular tire wear, you should
rotate tires every 6,000 – 8,000 miles or as specified in
the vehicle’s owner manual.
8.
Replace the tires
When you replace your tires, it is important to use the
tires with the same size, type and speed rating that
originally came on the vehicle.
