Tires are one of the most important—and expensive—parts of your vehicle. Taking care of them not only saves you money but also keeps you safer on the road. At Fox Run Auto, we help drivers throughout Northern Delaware get the most out of their tires with proper maintenance and honest advice.
Here are a few easy ways to extend the life of your tires:
1. Keep Them Properly Inflated
Underinflated or overinflated tires wear out faster and unevenly. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before long trips. You can find the recommended PSI in your owner’s manual or on the sticker inside your driver’s door.
2. Rotate Your Tires Regularly
Front and rear tires wear at different rates. Rotating them every 5,000 to 7,500 miles helps them wear more evenly, extending their lifespan. It also improves traction and handling.
3. Don’t Ignore Wheel Alignments
If your car pulls to one side or the steering wheel feels off-center, your alignment may be out of whack. Misalignment can cause your tires to wear unevenly or prematurely. A simple alignment service can save you from buying new tires too soon.
4. Keep an Eye on Tread Wear
Use the penny test or ask us to inspect your tread during regular service visits. Bald tires are dangerous in wet conditions and offer less grip on the road.
