Do You Know the Condition of Your Tires?
Fortunately, tire makers today are consistently improving tire performance and safety. Nevertheless, we, as car owners, have to cooperate. All things mechanical can only take so much wear and tear. Regardless of the superb quality and performance currently available, tires have their limits. It’s up to us to provide ongoing maintenance in the form of correct tire pressure, regular rotation, proper alignment and balancing. All that said, whether through calamity, neglect or ordinary wear and tear there inevitably comes a time when tire replacement is unavoidable. We dread the root canal and we dread the tire dealer.
Aside from safety concerns, did you know that proper tire inflation can assure that you are maximizing fuel economy for your vehicle. In this era of pumped up gas prices, not only is it prudent to shop for the best fuel prices, but regular checking of tire pressure can significantly ease the pain you’re feeling at the pump.
Sadly, studies have shown that almost no one drives with properly inflated tires. Usually, tires are under-inflated. It’s been estimated that the average American driver, maintaining the right tire pressure, can save over $400 annually.
