Are you aware just how important your car's tires are to your safety? Without regular tire maintenance you could be putting yourself and other danger. When it comes to tire safety you should be following these tips:
- Check the tire pressure. Maintaining the correct tire pressure helps you to avoid tire failure. Check the pressure when tires are cold or at least three hours after being driven. The recommended PSI can be found on your door jamb.
- Check the tread depth. Tread depth is vital to your tires ability to grip the road while driving. You can check the tread by taking a penny, with Lincoln's head pointing down, and placing it in the grooves of the tire. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head it's time for new tires.
- Don't overload your car. This places too much stress on your tires and can cause tire failure.
