YOUR TIRE MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
PRESSURE
Underinflation can lead to tire failure. It results in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. A tire can lose up to half of its air pressure and not appear to be flat!
ALIGNMENT
A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can throw your front end out of alignment and damage your tires. Have a tire dealer check the alignment periodically to ensure that your car is properly aligned.
ROTATION
Regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires will help you achieve more uniform wear. Unless your vehicle owner’s manual has a specific recommendation, the guideline for tire rotation is approximately every 6,000–8,000 miles.
TREAD
Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip the road in adverse conditions. Visually check your tires for uneven wear, looking for high and low areas or unusually smooth areas. Also check for signs of damage.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TIRES
Proper tire care and safety is simple and easy. Get into the habit of taking five minutes every month to check your tires, including the spare. If you think you may have a tire problem or are unsure of the condition of your tires, consult a tire dealer as soon as possible.
