Tips For Extending Tire Life
Check Your Tire Air Pressure Monthly
Checking your tire air pressure monthly will ensure that your tires are at a safe pressure, and it will let your tire set wear out evenly across all four tires. Other benefits to checking your tire pressure monthly include maintaining optimal fuel economy, safety, and traction.
Get Your Tires Rotated Every 8,000 Kilometres
With vehicles having different weights on the front to rear axles and depending on the vehicle's drivetrain, tires might experience different rates of wear and tear. To avoid having two tires wear out faster than the other two in your set, you will want to get a tire rotation to even out wear across all four tires.
Have Wheels Balanced
Having a wheel and tire setup out of balance can cause vibrations and premature wear on tires. Although you might have had your wheels balanced, a pothole or wheel rash from the curb can cause your wheels to be out of balance. If you experience any vibration or unexpected wear on your tires, it might be time for your wheels to be balanced.
Check Your Alignment Twice a Year
Just as important as wheel balancing is alignment, which puts your wheels within the specifications provided by the manufacturer to ensure that your vehicle tracks straight and that there isn't an issue that causes your tires to wear out quicker than normal.
