Air Pressure
posted on
5/12/2016 1:26:39 PM
The most common way of damaging tires is improper inflation. As tires lose pressure over time it causes them to experience irregular treadwear, poor vehicle handling and traction, and decreased gas mileage. Under inflated tires can build up excessive heat and blow out without warning. Pressure should be checked at least once a month using a good quality tire pressure gauge. Pressure should be checked when the tires are cold (tires have not been driven for 2 hours). You can find out what the pro...

Maintenance of Your new tires

Five Most Important Tire Saving Tips Check tire pressures regularly - with a good tire gauge, before you drive, when tires are cool. Don't guess - read your owner's manual or the vehicle's door jamb for proper pressure. Don't under- or over-inflate them. The first tire rotation is the most important. When regularly rotated, your tires will last longer and produce even tread wear. Follow your owner's manual guidelines, or the rule to rotate tires at every 5,000 - 6,000 miles. When you replace ...

Sidewall Markings
posted on
5/12/2016 1:26:39 PM
Here are some other markings you may find on your tire's sidewall: The M+S (also displayed as M&S or M-S) indicates the tire has all season capabilities. You will find this on almost all all season and winter tires. Summer tires will not have this designation. For a tire to get this designation it must have a specified tread-to-void ratio; however it does not mean that the tire has passed any actual tests for it effectiveness in severe conditions. DOT stands for Department of Transportati...
