Tire care and education is important because your tires see a lot of wear and tear and action every single time you drive your vehicle. By monitoring and caring for your tires, you can save a lot of money and keep them operational for a lot longer. Regular tire care includes routinely checking air pressure, regular tire rotations, ensuring that your tires are aligned, and doing physical inspections to check for any unusual wear and tear or problem areas on your tires. When you perform each of these regular maintenance items on your tires, you can save money in the long run by extending the life of your tires and saving you money on fuel.
The easiest, and maybe most important, thing you can do is check your tires’ air pressure regularly. Each vehicle has a recommended PSI at which you should operate your tires that will ensure peak efficiency. By running your vehicle on under- or over-inflated tires, you are increasing your risk for blow-outs, flat tires, irregular wear and tear, and more. For example, under-inflated tires are one of the biggest causes of using excess fuel as they have higher rolling resistance and take more effort from the engine to move your car. Check your vehicle’s operating manual to see what PSI you should operating at today!
