Essential Tire Tips for Fall Safety
Research by the Rubber Manufacturers Association reveals that more people wash their cars each month than check their tire pressure. While a clean car looks great, it doesn't ensure safety on the road. This fall, take a few minutes to check your tires with these easy tips to enhance your safety.
Check Tire Tread Regularly
Inspect your tire tread monthly and before long trips. Tires should have at least 1/16th of an inch of tread depth, the legal minimum in most states. Use the "penny test": insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head down. If you see the top of his head, it's time to replace the tire.
Look for Uneven Wear
Inspect your tires for uneven tread wear, which might indicate under- or overinflation, imbalance, or misalignment. If you notice uneven wear, consult a professional at TiresPlus.
Be Aware of Wear Bars
Tires come with built-in "wear bars" that appear when tread is down to 1/16th of an inch. Pay attention to these signals as they indicate it's time for new tires.
Rotate Your Tires
Follow your vehicle owner’s manual for tire rotation. Tire positions experience different stresses?"front tires handle turning and most of the braking, while rear tires may bear uneven loads. Regular rotation ensures even wear.
Monitor Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure monthly with an accurate gauge when tires are cool (after driving less than a mile or after being idle for three hours). Tires can lose up to 1 psi per month, and pressure varies with temperature changes by 1 psi for every 10-degree shift.
Next time you're at the car wash, take a few moments to check your tires. Ensure your vehicle is not only clean but also safe for any season.
