Under inflation results in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. Refer to your vehicle's owners manual for the proper level of inflation and check your tire pressure once a month.

Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the ability of the tread to grip the road. Visually check tires for uneven wear, looking for high and low areas or unusually smooth areas.

Each tire on your car supports a different amount of weight; this unequal weight distribution causes your tires to wear at a different rate. By rotating your tires every 5,000 miles, you can extend their useful life.
