Ways to Make Your Tires Last Longer
Tire replacement is one of the most expensive things you’ll incur when owning a vehicle. We understand why you might want to put off that investment to get the most life and value out of your tires. To get the most out of your tires’ lifespan, you must be “tire aware” and proactive. It only requires vigilance and a few specific activities, so don’t worry. You won’t have to think about your tires constantly. In this blog by Freedom DCJR by Ed Morse, you’ll learn about a few ways to make your tires last longer.
- The Importance of Proper Tire Pressure
When tires are inflated to the recommended pressure, they often last longer and improve the vehicle’s safety and performance. It can be particularly hazardous when making an emergency stop and having to do a quick evasive maneuver to prevent an accident. In addition, high pressures make the tire sidewalls bend too much, which produces heat.
- Go easy on the gas pedal and brakes.
One of those unchangeable automotive truths is that tires wear down. However, how fiercely you drive greatly impacts how quickly you wear. To prolong the life of your tires, use controlled and measured acceleration, braking, and steering.
- Have your tires rotated regularly
Your tires’ usable lifespan is increased by routine tire rotation, which distributes wear evenly across all four of them. A smoother ride and significantly increased safety result from even tread wear improves traction and handling performance.
