Tires are often the most neglected parts of a vehicle. And yet, they are among the most important and easily cared for. By adopting these few simple
tire maintenance practices, you can increase your vehicle's fuel efficiency, reduce harmful emissions, save money and make your vehicle safer.
- Measure your tire pressure
daily /weekly
using a good quality tire gauge. A visual inspection is not sufficient to detect under or over-inflation problems.
- Have your tires aligned annually.
- Tires should be balanced approximately every 20 000 km, or when drivers feel a vibration.
- Rotate your tires regularly.
- Monitor tread wear and replace tires when your tire tread is worn out.
- Conduct a visual check for embedded stones, glass and other foreign objects that could work their way into the tire and cause a leak.
