1. Check Tire Pressure Regularly
Under-inflated or over-inflated tires wear unevenly and reduce fuel economy. Use a tire pressure gauge monthly and compare readings with the manufacturer’s recommended PSI, found in your owner’s manual or driver’s door frame.
2. Rotate Your Tires
Tires don’t wear evenly due to differences in weight distribution and driving habits. Rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles helps ensure even tread wear and extends their lifespan.
3. Inspect Tread and Alignment
Worn-out tread or misaligned wheels can compromise traction and handling. Use the penny test to check the tread depth, and if your vehicle pulls to one side, get an alignment check.
