If there\u2019s one automotive component that is prone to be overlooked, it seems as though it\u2019s often our tires. We\u2019ll put untold money into keeping our fluids and belts doing exactly what they should be, but our tires will often get short shrift. Yet, healthy tires are often the only thing keeping a driver from a dangerous situation. So, how can you extend the life of your tires? Here are four easy ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

4 Ways to Extend the Life of your Tires<\/h2>\n

Check Your Tire Pressure Regularly<\/h3>\n

On many new cars, your tire pressure will actually be checked for you continually. However, for many slightly older models, you\u2019ll have to do this the old-fashioned way, and it\u2019s vitally important that you do this regularly. You can find the optimal air pressure printed on the inside of the driver\u2019s-side door jamb, and it\u2019s important to follow these numbers closely. Additionally, you shouldn\u2019t inflate your tires after you\u2019ve been driving all day, since the friction can lead to inaccurate readings.<\/p>\n

\"ServicingRotate Your Tires Frequently<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s often asked, \u201cWell, how often is \u2018frequently?\u2019\u201d Most professionals recommend rotating tires between 5,000 and 7,000 miles, or roughly every other time that you get your oil changed. By rotating your tires, you\u2019re helping them to wear more evenly, and this helps them to last longer. Tires in different positions on your vehicle are subject to different challenges and weight loads, so rotating accounts for these discrepancies.

Have Your Alignment Checked<\/h3>\n

If your alignment is off, your tires are forced to work extra hard, and they wear abnormally as a result. Abnormal wear may cause your tires to fail (that means popping, in case you were wondering), and it\u2019s a major hazard when this happens. At EVS Auto Group, we use laser precision to assess your alignment, meaning that you\u2019ll be rolling down the highway just as you should.<\/p>\n

Check Your Tire Balance<\/h3>\n

Tire balance refers to how smoothly the tire hits the surface of the road, and if it\u2019s a problem on your car, you\u2019ll probably know it. It causes significant vibrations, and it\u2019s tough to ignore. Luckily, we use electronic spin balancing in our service department, so we can get this issue worked out in a hurry.
\nTo put it simply, if there are issues with your tires, they need to be addressed immediately, since the problem can only make other automotive systems worse if they\u2019re ignored.
