Tire pressure should be checked every time before drive, but it is especially important to check before long trips and when the weather changes.
Tire alignment, also known as wheel alignment, is crucial for several reasons. Proper alignment ensures that all four wheels are positioned at the correct angles, optimizing tire performance and extending their lifespan. Having your vehicle’s alignment checked regularly is important for keeping your tires in good condition. Misaligned wheels can cause irregular wear on the tires and can lead to premature tire failure. It’s best to have your alignment checked every 10,000 miles or when you get new tires.
Rotating your tires on a regular basis is important for even wear and extends the life of the tires. Front and rear tires experience different levels of stress and friction, and without rotation, this can lead to uneven wear patterns, reducing the overall lifespan of the tires. Depending on your vehicle, you may need to have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Regular tire rotations will help maintain even tread wear and reduce the risk of uneven wear or tire failure.
