Taking good care of your tires does not have to be

difficult or time consuming. By following these tips,

you can ensure safe performance, top mileage and

longer tire life for your car.

Check the tire pressure

It is essential to check tire pressures at least once a

month. There are several places you can find the correct

pressure level for your vehicle: the vehicle’s owner

manual, inside the gas tank lid, the driver’s side

doorframe and on the door post. Remember the air

pressure listed on the side of your tire is not the correct

air pressure, but the maximum level for your car. Check

the air pressure when the tire is cold because the

pressure is highly affected by temperature.

Check the tread depth

Worn down tire tread is more likely to cause a sliding

accident and lower the traction of your car. It is

recommended to replace your tires before the treads get

less than 1/16 of an inch. Using “wear bars,” or built-in

tread wear indicators, is a good way to determine tread

depth. If you see these narrow strips of smooth rubber,

you should replace the tires.

Store the tires in proper conditions

It is very important to keep tires in the right place. To

prevent changes in the tire rubber, you should avoid

storing tires in a place where the temperature is above

77 ºF or below 32 ºF. It is also necessary to keep your

tires away from any form of oils or solvents. Tires

should also be kept away from ozone-producing

equipment, such as fluorescence lamps, as ozone has a

very strong deteriorating effect on tires.

Rotate your tires regularly

Regular tire rotation will help to get uniform wear on

all your tires. To avoid irregular tire wear, you should

rotate tires every 6,000 – 8,000 miles or as specified in

the vehicle’s owner manual.

Replace the tires

When you replace your tires, it is important to use the

tires with the same size, type and speed rating that

originally came on the vehicle.
