Below are some tips to help extend the life of your tires.
Wheel Alignment
When a vehicle's wheels are misaligned, it can use the tires to wear unevenly. There may also be noticeable performance issues behind the wheel, including handling problems, pulling, or vibrating. Getting your wheels serviced by a professional technician, and maintaining proper wheel alignment, can ensure even wear and tear, which helps prolong the life of the tire.
If you notice your vehicle pulling to one side or the other, or if there's a vibrating feeling when driving on a smooth road, consider getting an alignment check. An out-of-balance tire can affect the life of your tire, as well as other essential parts, including your suspension, shocks, and bearings.
Tire Rotation
One of the easiest and most essential things that can be done to protect tire health is a regular, routine tire rotation. Tire rotations performed at regular intervals help improve performance, prolong tire life, and achieve uniform wear and tear for all tires.
It is recommended that tire rotations should be performed every few thousand miles and can easily be done when getting your vehicle's oil changed. Every tire performs a different function depending on where it is on the vehicle and rotating them to different positions can help each wear the same way.
Tire Pressure
A tire that is underinflated or overinflated will wear unevenly. Every tire comes with a manufacturer recommendation for proper inflation. Keeping this recommended tire pressure is essential to maintenance.
External factors can also affect your tire pressure. Weather conditions, including extremely cold temperatures, can play a major role in tire pressure. It is recommended to check the vehicle's tire pressure often during colder months.
Properly inflated tires do more than help tire health. Tire pressure can affect ride comfort, vehicle fuel consumption and efficiency, stopping distance, cornering, and more.
