Read on to learn more about how to make your tires last longer, compliments of our skilled service team.

General Tire Maintenance

To achieve optimal driving performance and comfort on Escondido roads, preserving your tires is essential. Maintaining your tires is easy and inspections can be performed regularly, like when you check your vehicle’s fluid levels. Read on to explore how you can get long life out of your tires:

• Check your tire pressure on a monthly basis. Tires lose air each month, which can affect both the drivability and fuel economy of your vehicle.
• Furthermore, you’ll want to check tire pressure more often during the summer and winter months, as the extreme temperatures can cause the air to expand or contract, changing the pressure in your tires.
• Have your tire alignment checked twice a year. Tires that aren’t properly aligned will wear out unevenly, causing your car to respond negatively while driving.
• Be sure to rotate your tires every 5,000 miles. Regular tire rotation prevents uneven wear and ensures long life for your tires.
• Have your tires balanced to achieve long-life tires. Balancing your tires distributes the weight of your vehicle evenly across all tires. When you have your tires re-balanced, you’re not only protecting the life of your tires, but also ensuring that your vehicle is still safe on the road in San Diego.
• Monitor your tire tread depth. As you drive your car around Temecula, the tread will wear down over time. If you notice your car’s tread depth falls below 2/32 of an inch, it’s time to change your tires to ensure that your car can safely gain traction on the road no matter the weather condition.
