Whether you have driven hundreds of miles or not but taking care of the tires once in a month
definitely increases your safety and mileage.
It is always important to check for excessive or irregular tread wear, under inflation, or damages like scrapes, bulges, cracks,
punctures etc.
The visual inspection to find damages in tire thread can help you to prepare it for early servicing.
Make sure to follow the instruction for keeping the load capacity in check as extra loads affect the tire health.
Driving at a high speed on roads which is full off potholes and humps and bumps also reduces the life of tires.
Make sure to rotate the tire in every 5,000-7,000 miles which helps the tire to wear at the same time.
As per manufacturers, adding new tire to back axle can give a better control if you drive on wet roads.
Always make sure to keep the right tire-pressure which will prevent the tire from losing grip in wet, snowy or rainy
surfaces.
Vehicle handling always get affected by wrong size and type of tires. So select the exact tire as written in owner's manual.
Always select tires that can handle the load with right size and type as less load carrying tires can affect the handling and fuel
efficiency.
Don't overload your vehicle and make sure to check the maximum loading limit as it can harm the components and tires
as well.
The unscheduled rotation, worn out suspension part, under inflation or over inflation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment always cause
vibration and thread wear and tear in limited time.
Always make sure to avoid excess tire spinning in cold or snowy or wet road as sometimes the spinning can lead to tire
explosion.
