Tips to Keep You Rolling Into Fall
Overview:
Recent research from the Rubber Manufacturers Association shows that more people wash their cars monthly than check their tire pressure. While a shiny car looks nice, it's essential for safety to ensure your tires are in good condition. This fall, spend a few extra minutes caring for your tires to stay safe on the road. Here are some simple tips to help you out:
Essential Tire Tips
1. Check Your Tread Regularly
Inspect the tread on your tires every month and before any long trip. Tires should have at least 1/16th of an inch of tread depth, which is the legal minimum in most states. Use the "penny test": Insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If you see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s time to replace your tires.
2. Look for Uneven Wear
Uneven tread wear can indicate issues like improper inflation, imbalanced tires, or misaligned wheels. If you notice uneven wear, consult a TiresPlus service professional for an assessment.
3. Pay Attention to Wear Bars
Tires have wear bars built in, which appear once the tread is down to 1/16th of an inch. Don’t ignore these signals; they’re a clear indication that your tires need replacing.
4. Rotate Your Tires
Follow the rotation schedule in your vehicle's owner’s manual. Different positions on your car exert varying forces on the tires, potentially leading to uneven wear. Front wheels handle turning and most braking, while rear wheels can be loaded unevenly.
5. Monitor Tire Pressure
Use an accurate tire gauge to check air pressure at least once a month, and always when the tires are cool (either driven less than a mile or after sitting for at least three hours). Tires can lose up to 1 psi per month, and pressure changes by 1 psi for every 10-degree change in temperature.
Next time you wash your car, take a moment to inspect your tires. This way, you can enjoy a clean vehicle while ensuring a safer drive in any season.
