Don’t Let Tire Problems Put the Brakes on Your Valentine’s Date
posted on
2/6/2015 2:20:55 PM
Don’t let tire problems get in the way this Valentine’s day. How is your tire pressure? Do my tires need to be rotated? Is it time for an alignment? Do I need new tires? While these questions can seem daunting, with the help of tire professionals and various routine self-checks, any driver can maintain proper tire care and not miss that big date this Valentine’s Day. From tire rotations to air pressure, learning what signals might indicate tire replacement or repair is important for every vehicle owner.
Let’s begin with tire air pressure. Perhaps one of the most obvious tire maintenance steps most drivers neglect until it’s too late is checking your tire’s air pressure. Even careful drivers with perfect tire upkeep lose around 1 psi (pound per square inch) per month, culminating in high volumes of loss over time. Keeping this in mind, drivers should always be aware of air pressure in their tires and ensure proper pressure is maintained. Tire pressure and inflation directions are found in owner’s manuals and various other locations inside the vehicle. Check tire pressure after the vehicle is left standing for at least three hours for the most accurate readings and refill air in the morning or chilliest part of the day.
Maintaining proper tire maintenance with tire rotations and wheel alignments will help to save money and ensure safety and dependability for longer tire life. Both maintenance measures assist tires in even wear and will help avoid premature replacement while also creating a more comfortable ride. Follow your vehicles owner’s manual on the recommended frequency of tire rotations, but if unspecified, make sure to rotate tires every 6,000-8,000 miles.
No matter how well maintained, tire wear and life expectancy is heavily influenced by your driving habits. Increase tire life by taking everyday steps such as: not speeding, avoiding quick stops or turns and missing obstructions when possible. Following careful driving habits can be beneficial to decreasing wear on both tires and your vehicle if practiced regularly. Remember, tires are a driver’s first line of defense to obstacles of the road and should be treated carefully.
Tire repair and replacement is an easy way to protect yourself and other drivers from unnecessary tire related accidents. Consult our professionals to stay current with tires and auto repair in order to maintain proper vehicle conditions and dependability.
