Why It Is Important to Take Care of Your Tires

The four pieces of rubber that keep your car in contact with the road are of vital importance to your safety. Yet, often, people overlook their tires when doing routine maintenance or checks. Here are three steps to make it easy to take care of your tires.

1. Maintain Tire Pressure. To maximize the performance of your tires, they need to be at the proper air pressure. This number is listed in the door jamb of your driver’s side door. Maintaining proper tire pressure prolongs the life of your tires, makes sure your car performs the way it should, and helps you achieve optimal fuel efficiency. You should check your tire pressure once a month
2. Inspect Your Tires. Every time you check your tire pressure, you should also do a good tire inspection. Look for signs of bulging, cracks, or any foreign object embedded in your tires. If you see any of these problems, you should have them checked by a professional.
3. Check Your Tire Tread. Another sign of a healthy tire tread is adequate tread. Use the penny test to see if your tires meet the minimum needed. Check in multiple spots and if there is any place where you can see his whole head, you need new tires.
