The expert technicians in the Hendrick Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram service center will help you make sure your tires are always safe and road-ready. There are a few different ways to keep your tires in good condition to keep you and your passengers safe and extend your tires' lifespan. Continue reading to learn more!
How Do I Care For My Tires?
A simple way to extend the life of your tires at home is to monitor the tire pressure. We recommend checking the pressure once per month. You can find the recommended pounds-per-square-inch is posted on the placard on the driver's door jam. A tire's over-inflation can cause the tread to round out, causing the flat surface that touches the road to wear prematurely. Under-inflated tires create a larger surface area that makes contact with the pavement, also shortening tire life. Also crucial to extending the life of your tires is getting tire rotations, balancing, and wheel alignments. Tire rotations are important because most of your vehicle's weight is on the front end; this causes the front tires to wear faster than the rear. It's recommended to rotate your tires roughly every 5,000 miles to even out the wear of your tires. Balancing can prevent getting vibrates and wobbles caused by wheels being out of balance. Alignments are critical to the life of the outside shoulders. Wheels that are out of alignment can cause wear to the inner and outer edges of your tires. There are many ways to take care of your tires to make them last!
Why Is It So Important to Have Good Tire Tread?
As was stated above, tires connect you to the road, so it's important to have good tread on your tires to create traction and keep it regardless of the terrain. At all times, your tires are carrying the load of your vehicle. Tires are responsible for maintaining grip through tight curves, smooth acceleration, and maximizing fuel economy. In wet weather, the tread is designed to push water towards the 'sipes' on the outer shoulders, which excrete the water away from the tire's flat surface, maintaining traction even on wet roads.
