When you buy a new of set of tires, you need to take care of them. Your first thought should center on how to maintain your tires. With that in mind, we have put together the following guidelines to help you in this endeavor.
Regularly Inspect Your Tires
It is quite easy to walk around your car or truck and inspect your tires. You might be surprised how much damage these four pieces of rubber can encounter on a regular basis. They might be fine one day, and run into a nasty bunch of gravel the next. Finding a problem early on can mean the difference between a tire repair and tire replacement.
Check the Air Pressure
Tires need to have the proper pressure. Check this regularly and make sure that it matches the specifications for your car or truck. Not only will this give you better gas mileage, it will also make your tires last longer. Have a tire pressure gauge handy and perform a check whenever you think about it. The process is really easy and can be done in a short span of time.
Rotate Your Tires
Tires need to be rotated regularly. This helps to prevent uneven wear and minimizes the risk of your tread tearing. We recommend that you have a rotation done once or twice a year. A common service would be to have this done in conjunction with an oil change.
Remember You Have A Spare
Use your spare tire when you need to. If you think that your tire is damaged, put the spare on before driving over to our shop. This will immediately take the pressure off the damaged tire. Once again, this could mean the difference between a repair and a replacement.
