Tire Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance of your automobile’s tires can help your tires last a lot longer. The following are some helpful hints that can save you money in the long run.
Always use the size tire that is recommended for your vehicle. Tires smaller than the ones recommended for your car can go bad 10% faster than properly sized tires.- Pay attention to the listed pressure for your tires and always keep them inflated accordingly. When checking tire pressure, make sure the tires are cool. When tires are hot the pressure will increase, which can lead to misleading readings.
- Fast starts and stops can wear the rubber on your tires. Try to start and stop your car slowly. Also, take corners slowly when possible.
- Driving at higher speeds will increase tire temperature and cause wear.
- Rotate and balance your tires every 6,000 – 8,000 miles or as according to manufacturer recommendation.
