Tips for Proper Tire Maintenance

Manufacturers design and build tires for tens of thousands of miles of service. To take full advantage of your tires' potential and ensure optimal safety and performance, take a few minutes each month for tire maintenance, and have tires serviced by a professional at regular intervals.

 

DO IT YOURSELF

Pressure

Check tire pressure monthly and before long trips. Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure. Under-inflation wastes fuel and can damage tires.

Tread

All tires have “wear bars” at 2/32" tread depth. When tread is worn to that point, tires must be replaced. Worn out tires pose a safety risk.

 

SERVICED BY PROFESSIONAL

Alignment

Have wheel alignment checked periodically or if you hit a pothole or road hazard. Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven and rapid tread wear.

 

Rotation

Tires wear differently at each wheel position. To promote even tread wear, rotate tires every 5,000-8,000 miles.
