Your tires are one of the most critical parts of your car, and regular maintenance is essential for safety and performance.
Why Tire Maintenance Matters
Safety: Properly inflated and balanced tires ensure better handling and braking.
Fuel Efficiency: Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage.
Longevity: Regular rotations and alignments prevent uneven wear, extending tire life.
Tire Maintenance Checklist
Check Tire Pressure: Use a tire pressure gauge monthly to ensure the PSI matches the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Inspect Tread Depth: Replace tires when tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch.
Rotate Tires: Rotating your tires every 5,000-7,500 miles prevents uneven wear.
Alignment and Balancing: Misaligned tires can cause uneven wear and affect handling.
