The tires on your vehicle are one of the most important components that require routine maintenance, inspections, and replacements. Whether you're driving a brand-new Volvo vehicle or you're behind the wheel of an older model, you'll want to make sure that your tires are well taken care of and regularly maintained.
Maintenance Tips For Tires
While you should always inspect your tires to make sure they are in good working order, there are a few basic maintenance tips that you should follow. These include:
- Tire Inspection - You should check your tires often to make sure they're working correctly. What should you check for?
- Air Pressure - Is your tire over-inflated? Under-inflated?
- Tread Wear - Is your tread too low? When you do the penny test, do you see a gap under Lincoln's head?
- Tire Wear - Is the wall of the tire in good condition? Are there any scrapes, dings, or tears?
- Tire Rotation - Every tire doesn't wear evenly. Depending on how you drive, what type of daily commute you take, and what type of roads you drive on, each tire will have a different amount of wear. To counteract this, you'll want to have your tires often rotated (at every oil change). This will help you save money on the frequency of your tires.
- Tire Changes - Since we live in Minnesota, it's imperative to have your tires changed as the seasons do. Make sure to switch over to winter tires or back to summers when the seasons begin to change.
