Simple Steps to Take to Maintain Your Tires

You can’t expect your vehicle to stay reliable if you don’t give it the maintenance it needs, and you have to pay special attention to your tires. Adjust your tire pressure as the weather changes and remember to change out your tires and rotate them so they wear evenly. Here are a few simple steps to take to maintain your tires.

Check the Weather

When the temperature changes, so does the inflation of your tires. You should always be keeping an eye on your tire pressure, so your tires wear out evenly and you get the right amount of traction to the road but pay extra attention when the weather fluctuates. Check the weather when you wake up, so you know what to expect, and inflate your tires as necessary.

Know Your Tread Depth

Your tires’ tread depth impacts how well your car can stick to the road. If there is no tread and your tires are bald, you won’t have the same amount of control over your vehicle. This can put you and other drivers in danger, so remember to replace your tires before you get to this point. You can use one simple trick that just involves a penny and your tire. Stick the penny upside down in the tread of the tire and see how much of Lincoln you can see. If you can see the top of his head, it’s time for new tires.

Rotate Regularly

All tires will wear out eventually, but there are steps you can take to make yours last longer. Rotating your tires helps even out the wear and prolong the life of your tires, so ask your mechanic if it’s time for a rotation.
