How Do I Know if I Need New Tires?
There are a number of signs that you might need new tires. These include an increased sense of vibration during driving, slick-looking or worn treads, poor gas mileage, or tires that seem to be losing air pressure faster than expected.
When Should I Get New Tires?
Factors that impact your tires’ condition include the way you drive, the mileage rating of the tires, the general condition of the roads, the weather, and other things that can be difficult to ascertain.
What Should My Tire Pressure Be?
Your best bet is to go by the manufacturer’s specified tire pressure, which you can find either on the outside of the tire or on a plate inside the driver’s door jam.Can I Just See if My Pressure is Low?
It can be difficult to judge your tire pressure level with just your eyes. Tires can be under 50% inflated before it becomes obvious to the naked eye. Check your pressure yourself with a quality pressure gauge at least once a month.
What Does Speed Rating Mean?
The speed rating of a tire refers to the speed that a tire can carry a specific load. These vary per manufacturer, but pay attention to the tires you have on if you have a heavy load on the horizon.
