It's not your Father's Oldsmobile anymore, and the tires have changed
as much or more than the automobile.
Today you need to be concerned about things like UTQG "uniform tire
Quality grading " load range and Speed Ratings.
So how do you navigate thru all this very complicated information?
The most important aspect of tire maintenance is proper inflation of your tires.
Tire Maintenance:
- The most important aspect of tire maintenance is proper inflation of your tires.
- 75% of drivers wash their cars monthly
- only 1 out of 7 (14%) correctly checks tire pressure
- air pressure should be checked on all tires, including the spare, at least
once a month
Your tires are your first defense for safety while driving;
air pressure keeps the tire footprint on the road providing the best control and tire wear, thus adding to your family's
safety while traveling.
Regular rotation of your tires will also help prevent irregular and premature wear. 40% of drivers have
not rotated their tires within the
recommended interval of at least 8,000 miles.
A healthy habit many people follow is to rotate their
tires with every oil change.
Find the Tire and Service Dealer that has the knowledge and desire to make
you a lifelong customer, providing you all the information in an understandable
way. How do you find such a company? You want a company that can provide
a vehicle alignment, free rotations, free tire repairs and a nationwide
road hazard warranty. If a company cannot provide an alignment check how
can you consider them as a partner in providing you the tire mileage you deserve?
