Tire care

Five reasons why you should take five minutes every month to check your car’s tires:

• Protection against avoidable breakdowns and crashes
• Improved vehicle handling
• Better fuel economy
• Increased tire life
• Save money

Here’s a simple safety checklist you can follow when taking care of your car’s tires:

• Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month), including the spare.
• Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread, cracks, foreign objects, or other signs of wear or trauma. Remove bits of glass and other foreign objects wedged in the tread.
• Make sure your tire valves have valve caps.
• Check tire pressure before going on a long trip.
• Do not overload your vehicle. Check the tire information placard or owner’s manual for the maximum recommended load for the vehicle.
• If you are towing a trailer, remember that some of the weight of the loaded trailer is transferred to the towing vehicle.
