Spring Car Care Month: Tire Safety Tips
In honor of Spring Car Care Month, SimpleTire is reinforcing its commitment to safety education. With the changing seasons, it’s important for drivers to stay proactive about care and ensure their vehicles are ready for the road. SimpleTire encourages drivers to follow these essential safety tips:
- Check Tire Pressure Regularly: Tire pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes, so it’s important to check pressure monthly and before embarking on road trips. Proper inflation improves safety, fuel efficiency, and longevity.
- Inspect Tread Depth: Use the penny or quarter test to assess tread depth. A quarter is especially useful for gauging grip in wet conditions. If the tread is worn down too much, it’s time for new s.
- Rotate Tires Every 5,000–8,000 Miles: Regular rotations ensure even wear, extending the life of your tires and enhancing performance. Don’t skip this important maintenance task.
- Look for Signs of Aging: s over six years old should be inspected for signs of aging, such as cracks, bulges, or dry rot. These issues can compromise safety, and aging may need to be replaced even if they appear to have plenty of tread left.
- Check Alignment and Balance: If you notice uneven wear or if your vehicle pulls to one side, it could be a sign that the alignment is off. Proper alignment helps prevent premature wear and ensures a smooth ride.
- Swap Winter Tires: As the weather warms up, it’s time to replace winter s with all-season or summer . This ensures optimal performance and safety for driving in warmer conditions.
These simple yet crucial checks can make a significant difference in maintaining safety on the road as the seasons change.
