Tire Care Tips

 

1. Don't wait until it's too late - Make it a habit to check your tire pressure at least once per month and before every long trip. Under inflated tires causes excess heat build-up that can damage tires and lead to a failure.

 

 

2. Know your pressure point - The correct tire pressure is found on a sticker on the driveršs door, doorpost or owner's manual NOT on the tire sidewall ­ that's the maximum pressure for the tire.

3. Keep your cool - To accurately measure your tire pressure, check tires when they are cold. Wait at least three hours after driving.

4. Take care of your spare - Check your spare tire each month and keep it properly inflated so it's ready to go when you need it most.

5. Penny for your thoughts - A penny can tell you if your tire is bald. Place a penny upside down into a tread groove. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for a new tire.

6. Keep yourself in line - Be aware of potholes that can not only damage your tire but can also jar your car's alignment.

7. Pick a date and rotate - Make sure you rotate your tires every 6,000 miles to promote uniform wear and longer tire life.

8. Don't take a spin without a cap - Driving without your tire valve cap allows for a slow leak of air from the tire and eventual underinflation.

9. Don't lose your balance - It is important to have your tire balance checked periodically to avoid irregular wear.

10. Be a weight-watcher - Overloading your vehicle stresses your tires and can lead to damage.
