- Check your air pressure at least once a month. Properly inflated tires can keep your family safe and save you money. You should always use the inflation recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This information can be found in the owner's manual and often on a label located in the vehicle's doorjamb, inside the fuel hatch, or on the glove compartment door.
- Always be aware of your tread depth. The simplest way to check your tread is to place a penny, Lincoln’s head first, into the tread; if you can see the top of his head, the tire needs to be replaced.
- Make sure to rotate your tires. Rotating them ensures uniform wear on all of your tires. Check your owner’s manual for the suggested period of time between rotations. If there is no suggested period of time, the standard is every 6,000-8,000 miles, or every other oil change.

ReplyDeleteGreat post! Both my kids are in college and they have to drive quite a distance from home to school. My hubby is always on them to check their tire pressure! It's amazing just how important it is!
