Tire care
Tires are one of the most important pieces of equipment a car has. When properly cared for, they can last for years. Tires need to be kept clean and free of debris to function properly. Here are some tips on how to keep your tires in great shape.
Always check the tire pressure before leaving home. If it is below the recommended pressure, your tires may not be inflated correctly and may suffer from wear and tear over time. Also make sure the tires are not over inflated either. This can cause them to puncture and pick up sharp objects.
Don’t forget the tread wear
Also remember to check the tread wear for your car. This can be done as easily as using a penny. Place the penny upside down in the groove of the tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, then the tread has worn down. Another way to tell if there are issues with the tires can be how the vehicle handles. If it pulls to one side or the other, then the tires could be the culprit. Tires that are under inflated will pull to one side. Also, if the tread wear is uneven, you will notice that on your vehicle handles as well.
