The Importance of Properly Maintaining Your Vehicle’s Tires

Many people don’t realize the importance of tire maintenance. In fact, there are over 600 deaths per year as a result of poorly maintained tires. Watch the video to learn more about why maintaining your auto’s tires is so important.

Poorly inflated tires will result in a decrease in fuel economy, steering ability, stopping ability, and traction. It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure on a monthly basis. If you notice that your tires are not inflated at the level recommended by your owner’s manual, then it’s a good idea to take your car into an auto repair shop to get them inflated correctly. While there, you should get the tire tread checked and the car’s tires rotated and balanced. This will extend the life of your tires and save you money in the long run.
