Wheel Alignment and Balance

The importance of proper wheel alignment in extending the life of your tires cannot be overstated. Your tires may wear unevenly if your vehicle is misaligned, and you may notice a change in how your vehicle handles. Your tires and wheels are aligned and balanced at the factory to guarantee the longest life and optimum overall performance. Wheel alignment and tire balancing adjustments are not necessarily required on a regular basis. If there is unusual tire wear or the car is tugging to one side or the other, consider a wheel alignment check.

Rotating Your Tires

Tire rotations are well-known for extending tire life and improving vehicle performance. Tires are rotated to ensure that all of them wear evenly. Tires wear at different rates because they perform distinct jobs, such as steering in front-wheel drive versus rear-wheel drive. Tire rotation is recommended every 7,500 miles to avoid uneven tire wear. It's critical to rotate your tires according to the proper tire-rotation pattern. This will extend the life of your tires and lessen the chance of unexpected tire failure.

Tire Pressure

Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is meant to alert you when you have low tire pressure. The tire pressure and temperature are measured by a sensor, which subsequently sends the information to your tire pressure monitor. A warning indicator will appear if the pressure in one or more of your tires is 25% or less than the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressure for tires. Check and adjust all tire air pressures to appropriate levels if your Tire Pressure Monitor light turns on and stays solid with a check tire pressure, low tire pressure, or add air to tire message. After then, drive your car to switch off the light.

Tire Wear and Tear

Tire wear can be caused by a variety of variables, including your driving style and tire maintenance habits. When tread wear signs show, it's time to change your tires. The treadwear indicators integrated into your tire appear as small strips of smooth rubber across the tread and become evident as the tire wears.

When to Replace Your Tires

Treadwear indications emerge when the tread on your tires is just 2/32 inches or less. Additionally, the rubber in your tires deteriorates over time. If you have one, this also applies to your spare tire, even if you never use it. Temperatures, loading circumstances, and tire inflation pressure maintenance are all elements that influence how quickly tires age. If you detect three or more tread wear indicators around the tire, the tire cord or fabric is visible through the rubber, or the tire tread or sidewall is cracked, cut, or snagged deep enough to display cord or fabric, your car will require new tires.

Tires are a critical component of your vehicle, but they have a limited lifespan. Some tires can least for 80,000 or 90,000 miles while others are designed to be replaced at 50,000 miles. As your tires wear down, they become less effective at providing traction and stability out on the road. Your risk for an accident increases when it’s time to replace your tires.
