Check your tire pressure frequently

This is the easiest way to maintain the health of your car's tires. Just check up on your tire pressure about once a month and adjust it accordingly. The wrong amount of air pressure can result in poor handling, increased stopping distance, and a higher risk of a blowout. Take a few minutes every month to make sure your PSI is where it should be.

Get your tires rotated

Have this done about every 5,000 miles you drive. So, this can be done after every other oil change, generally. Tires wear unevenly, even on all-wheel-drive vehicles. Mechanics can rotate your tires by moving them to different positions on the wheel. This allows for a more even wear and can extend the life of the tires.

Schedule a service appointment

Have your wheels balanced

This can be done at the same time you get your tire rotation. A small difference in balance between your wheels can cause vibration and uneven/premature tire wear. A wheel balancing is done by using a special machine and small weights. It's another quick and easy process that is just part of routine car maintenance.

Get your alignment checked

You should have your alignment checked out twice a year. Our technicians can easily check if your alignment is out of whack. Your tires can become pigeon-toed or duck-footed, and both cause your tires to wear more than they should. Just ask for an alignment, it's super easy!
