Tire Care Character
Use the following tips to help you stay on top of tire maintenance:
-
Check Tire Pressure
Check tire pressure to ensure proper inflation. Underinflation can lead to excess heat, uneven tire wear, and decreased braking and handling capabilities.
-
Follow Rotation Schedules
Follow proper tire rotation schedules. Recommended rotation patterns for your vehicle can be found in your owner's manual.
-
Balance Tires Regularly
Balance tires as necessary. Out-of-balance tires may be detected in bumps that become more noticeable at higher speeds.
-
Install in Sets or Pairs
Install new tires in sets or pairs. The addition of one new tire to the rotation cycle can cause instability.
-
Store Tires Properly
When the time comes to store your tires for next season, consider a dark place away from direct sunlight.
-
Inspect for Damage
Be mindful of abnormal tire wear or damage to your tires. Watch for signs of punctures or cracks.
-
Maintain Your Spare
Always keep a spare tire, and make sure it's properly inflated and ready for use.
Take these tips into consideration when servicing your tires.
⚠️ The Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) recommends taking five minutes each month to check your tires.
