Replacing a tire is something no one likes to do, but it’s a necessary measure to take for safety. Here are a few tips that can make your tires last longer!

Check Your Tire Pressure

Maintaining your tire pressure is the easiest thing you can do to extend the life of your tires. Low air pressure can affect your vehicle’s handling, increase the stopping distance, and increase wear and tear which heighten the risk of a blowout.

The correct tire pressure not only saves your tires but increases fuel efficiency. Your tires should be between 30-35 PSI, be sure to check your manufacturer’s manual for more information.

Rotate Your Tires

A good rule of thumb is to rotate your tires every 5,000-7,500 miles. Rotating your tires can combat uneven tread wear, improve balanced handling, and help maintain traction.

Be sure to consult your owner’s manual, or manufacturer instructions, to view exact recommendations for tire rotation.

Check Your Alignment

If you notice your vehicle pulling left or right as you’re driving straight, or if your steering wheel starts vibrating or shaking, your alignment could be off.

Having your vehicle’s alignment off can affect the tread of your tires. Check your tires for signs of alignment issues, these could be your tires looking rough, worn, or torn.
