TIPS TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR CAR TIRES!
1. CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE!
Checking your tire pressure at least once a month is advised by tire experts. Make it a habit by either checking the pressure on the same day of of the month or when you fill your tank. To increase the lifespan of your tires, check the pressure quickly and easily. |
2. ROTATE YOUR TIRES!
Rotating your tires might help reduce the minute variations in wear rate. You can rotate your tires left to right, back to front, and diagonally to extend the lifespan of your tires. To prolong the life of your tires, it is advised that you rotate them every 5,000 miles or have them professionally done. |
3. BALANCE YOUR TIRES!
Every tire has a small area where the weight is slightly uneven. This can lead to uneven tire wear and vibration when driving. Small weights and a specific equipment are used to balance tires. |
4. ALIGN YOUR TIRES!
Similar to tire pressure, the manufacturer establishes guidelines for tire alignment; therefore, before having your tires aligned, make sure to consult the owner's handbook. Do not wait until the previous alignment has been completed for six months if you experience signs of misalignment; take your car to the professionals right away for adjustment. |
5. GOOD DRIVING HABITS!
Your driving habits are another factor that influences the wear rate of your tires. Tire wear can be worsened by drivers who like to stomp on the brake or apply excessive pressure to the gas pedal. If you want to prolong the life of your tires, steer clear of aggressive driving! |
