Here are some answers to a few commonly asked questions customers have about their tires.
You can find your recommended pounds per square inch (PSI) on a sticker inside the driver’s door or in your owner’s manual. You should check your tire pressure at least once a month, especially if your car doesn’t monitor it automatically. Proper tire pressure ensures effective traction and braking, and underinflation can cause tires to wear unevenly.
Each tire on your vehicle performs a different function. So they don’t wear at the same rate. Rotating them every 7,500 miles to ensure even wear will help you get the most possible miles out of each set. Our technicians will also make sure your tires are properly balanced for a smooth ride.
Your car can become misaligned if you hit a curb or pothole or if you drive often on bumpy roads. If you notice your car pulling to one side when you’re trying to go straight, it may need an alignment. While an alignment involves your vehicle’s suspension system and not your actual tires, driving a misaligned vehicle can cause unnecessary wear on them.
The obvious signs to look for are bulges, cracks, or cords or fabric showing through the rubber. You can also look for the appearance of the tread wear indicator, which is a smooth narrow strip of rubber that becomes visible as the tire wears. But the easiest way to assess how much life is left in your tires is by placing a penny upside down in between the tire treads. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, the tire is worn and needs to be replaced.
