Importance of Tire Maintenance

---

While your tires seem like they serve a simple purpose for your vehicle, allowing it to propel forward on the pavement when you press the gas pedal, their actual importance delves deeper than this. Your tires are the only component that maintain a physical relationship with the road surface, interacting with the ground as you move. Accordingly, your tires are responsible for providing the proper traction, allowing your vehicle to remain stable on the go.

Your tires do affect performance in other areas as well. For instance, the fuel economy you are able to earn. A tire that is underinflated, for example, causes your vehicle to work harder and use more gas, costing you more time and money at the pumps.

Tire Issues

---

As you drive more and more, your tires will wear down like every other component of your car. As they do, the tire tread in particular could become a problem spot. Your tread is critical in providing traction, creating a safe and stable driving experience.

Normally, you can expect your tread to wear down between 25,000 miles and 50,000 miles, depending on how much and where you are driving. When this occurs, you will need a new set of tires.

• Checking Tread - Want to check your tire tread? Just use a penny! Sticking Abraham Lincoln’s head into the tread will reveal if you have any tread life left. If Lincoln’s head is covered, your tires have tread left, and if not, you’ll need a new set of tires.
• Unexpected Tire Repair - Aside from normal wear and tear, you could also run into a flat tire. If this occurs, we will try to patch up the flat, restoring integrity to the tire. If the leak is too large, though, we may not be able to patch it up.  In that case, you will need to replace your whole set.

How to Boost Tire Life

---

To get the most out of your tires, prevent flat tires, and extend its lifespan, there are some practices you can follow. For instance, using your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system to make sure that proper air pressure levels are maintained can help extend its lifespan while also contributing to premium performance.

Additionally, having your tires rotated regularly can help keep your tires turning properly. Rotating your tires ensures that your tread is wearing down evenly, keeping each tire on par with the rest.
