Tires

Tires from different categories are designed to offer performance & handling advantages that make them perfect for the roads they're driven on. Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire & vehicle load limits (not carrying more weight in your vehicle than your tires or vehicle can safely handle), avoiding road hazards, & inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, & other irregularities are the most important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout & flat tires. These actions, along with other care & maintenance activities, can also: Improve vehicle handling, Help protect you & others from avoidable breakdowns & accidents, Improve fuel economy, Increase the life of your tires.

Basic Tire Maintenance - Properly maintained tires improves the steering, stopping, traction, & load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Under inflated tires & overloaded vehicles are a major cause of tire failure. Therefore, as mentioned above, to avoid flat tires & other types of tire failure, you should maintain proper tire pressure, observe tire & vehicle load limits, avoid road hazards, & regularly inspect your tires.

It is important to check your vehicles tire pressure at least once a month for the following reasons. Most tires may naturally lose air over time, Tires can lose air suddenly if you drive over a pothole or other object or if you strike the curb when parking With radial tires it is usually not possible to determine under inflation by visual inspection. For convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in your vehicle. Tire Air Gauges can be purchased at our tire store.

The recommended tire inflation pressure that vehicle manufacturers provide reflects the proper psi when a tire is cold. The term cold does not relate to the outside temperature. Rather, a cold tire is one that has not been driven on for at least three hours. When you drive, your tires get warmer, causing the air pressure within them to increase. Therefore, to get an accurate tire pressure reading, you must measure tire pressure when the tires are cold or compensate for the extra pressure in warm tires.
