Extend Your Tire Life

  • Check tire pressure monthly and before long trips — underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure
  • Rotate tires every 5,000-7,500 miles to ensure even wear
  • Get a wheel alignment check annually and after hitting major potholes
  • Inspect tread depth regularly — replace at 4/32 inch for wet weather safety
  • Avoid rapid acceleration, hard braking, and sharp turns which accelerate wear
  • Store seasonal tires in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone sources
