Maintaining your car’s tires is crucial for safety and performance. Regularly inspect your tires and ensure they are inflated to the correct pressure as indicated in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Proper inflation ensures optimal grip and even wear. Over-inflated tires wear excessively in the center, while under-inflated tires wear more on the edges. Check tire pressure before long trips, and verify your spare tire is ready for emergencies. Also, be aware that tire pressure requirements may vary based on load and towing conditions. Uneven tire wear can indicate alignment issues, which should be addressed by a qualified mechanic. All tires have tread wear indicators to show the minimum safe tread depth. Replace tires when these indicators are reached. Finally, minimize impacts from potholes and curbs to extend tire life, prevent alignment problems, and avoid damage.
