Tires aren’t something you want to buy often for your car, so it pays to make sure that the set you have now lasts for as long as possible. West Omaha Auto Service has some tips for you that can make that goal a lot easier to achieve.
Pay Attention to How the Car Handles
When your tires are not in the best condition or they’re experiencing something that could damage them, you are likely to experience changes in how the car handles. The key with this is to take action as soon as you notice that something feels weird or off about how the car is feeling to you. It’s when you ignore those changes that the damage starts to build and build, reducing the life of your tires. Take action right away and make sure that you address whatever has changed.
Don’t Skip Suggested Tire and Wheel Services
Specific wheel and tire services are all part of helping your car and your tires to last as long as possible. Tire balancing, tire rotations, and wheel alignments are all part of the recommended services for your car and they really do need to be done regularly. There’s a schedule in your car’s owner’s manual, but there are also some times when those services may need to be done at other times, like when you get new tires for instance.
Make Sure You’re Doing Some Checks of Your Own
There are quite a few different things you can and should be doing for your car in between service visits. Things like checking your oil and coolant levels helps to make sure that your car is able to continue to function properly and enables you to keep an eye on how those fluids are doing. Another task to add to the list involves tire care. Checking your tire pressure at least every couple of weeks helps you to make sure that the tires are at the right air pressure. It also gives you a chance to notice any changes in how the tread is wearing, which can let you know if you need to have the tires professionally inspected.
