Proper tire maintenance not only ensures your safety but also extends the lifespan of your vehicle and boosts fuel efficiency. Here’s how you can keep your tires in top condition with these tips from the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA):
- Choose the Right Tires: Make sure to select tires that match the size and load recommendations for your vehicle. Consult with a knowledgeable dealer to find the best fit for your driving habits.
- Keep a Tire Gauge Handy: Always have a tire gauge in your car. It helps you monitor air pressure and determine if your tires need more air.
- Check Tire Pressure Regularly: Inspect your tire pressure monthly, and especially before long trips. Underinflation can lead to damage and tire failure, while overinflation can cause uneven wear and problems with handling and stopping. Follow the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
- Adjust Speed in Wet Conditions: Slow down in wet weather. Reducing speed increases the tire’s contact with the road, enhancing traction.
- Rotate Tires Every 6,000 Miles: Regular rotation helps prevent uneven wear. If you notice uneven tread, have a professional check for alignment, balance, or mechanical issues.
- Periodically Check Alignment: If your vehicle veers to one side, get the alignment checked by a professional.
- Inspect Tire Tread: Use a penny to measure tread depth?"if you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for new tires.
- Examine Sidewalls: Look for any gouges, cuts, or bulges. These irregularities can compromise tire safety.
- Avoid Overloading: Overloading your vehicle generates excessive heat in the tires, which can lead to failure.
- Balance Tires: Have your tire balance checked regularly to prevent irregular wear.
By routinely checking your tires, you ensure safer, more enjoyable, and cost-effective journeys.
