Ways To Care For Your Tires And Make Them Last Longer

Tires are expensive! And having to replace them more often that they should be isn’t something neither you nor your savings will be happy about. So, to keep you from going bankrupt here are some tips that will keep your priced tires in top shape.

Pay Attention To Your Driving Habits

Do you look out for potholes, road debris, speed bumps and curves? Do you drive like you’re being chased all the time? Often find yourself driving on rough roads maybe? All of these things changes your tires condition which leads to premature damage.

Keep The Load Within The Weight Limit

Gym bag, tools, spare tire, and stash of clothes, snack, and maybe a bag filled with personal belongings for those unexpected out-of-town trip or overnight stay somewhere are some of the reasonable stuffs that can be found in your car. But, try not to fit your entire house in your car. The heavier your car gets, the higher the risks for flats, blowouts, and damage. 

Watch Where You Park

As much as possible, avoid parking on hot asphalt during hot weather, not on gravel or dirt roads when it’s extremely cold either, or leaving your car immobile for weeks or months. These conditions can break down or destroy tires.

Make Sure They’re Properly Inflated

Over inflation and under inflation are bad for your tires. They put unnecessary pressure on your tires which leads to early wear and tear on them.

Proper Rotation Is Important

When you take your vehicle to service shops to have the oil change, have the tires rotated at the same time. This helps prevent uneven wear on your tires.

Don’t Forget To Keep Your Tires Balanced

While you’re at oil change and tire rotation, why not have your tires balanced too? Not only that this ensures smoother ride but also keep tires from improper wear.

Tire Alignment Is Just As Crucial

If you want to maximize the tire tread design, drive a car with better performance, and practically get the most out of your tires, make sure not to pass on tire alignment. This is essential for the drive line components of your vehicle.
