Tire care should be an important part of your routine vehicle maintenance. It's in the nature of a tire to wear out eventually. But, there are things you can do to help make your tires last longer.
This includes:
- Tire rotation - This helps your tires wear more evenly. Things like weight and misaligned wheels cause tires to wear at different rates on different parts of the tire. You should get them rotated every 5,000 miles.
- Check your tire pressure at least once a month. When your tire pressure is low it increases stopping distance and the risk of a blowout.
- Get your wheel alignment checked twice a year. Misalignment can make your tires point inward or outward and increase tread wear.
- Have your wheels balanced. Each tire has a heavy spot, and, as your tires wear, the weight needs to be moved around, otherwise it will cause uneven wear.
