If your tires are not lasting as long as you expect them to last, there’s probably more than one reason for that. Clark’s Professional Car Care wants to share some tips with you that can help to extend the life of your car’s tires.
Look at Your Tires Yourself
You’ve probably heard more than a few times that you should be looking at your tires at least once a month, and that’s true. When you look at your tires yourself, you start to get a baseline understanding of how they’re wearing and whether there seems to be any trouble. You should also manually check your tire pressure because your car’s TPMS monitor may not always be accurate. Verifying that measurement can help you to stay on top of how your tires are doing.
Get Your Tires Rotated
When you get your tires rotated as recommended by your car’s manufacturer, you’re giving it a chance to wear more evenly over its entire lifespan. The right rotation pattern can add a lot more life to your car’s tires than you might expect. It’s worth making sure that you’re not skipping this valuable service for what it can do to help your car’s tires to last as long as they should.
Get your Wheels Balanced
Wheel balancing is crucial for keeping your car’s tires in good condition. When your wheels are out of balance, they’re causing the tires to hit the pavement unevenly. That causes all sorts of issues, including uneven tire wear and potential problems with the suspension system. Wheel balancing doesn’t take long to do, and you can have it done at the same time as other services.
Get Your Wheels Aligned
Wheel alignments are the last big wheel and tire service that you can’t afford to ignore. Misaligned wheels, like unbalanced wheels, can cause a lot more damage elsewhere in the car than you might realize. It’s also really easy for your wheels to end up out of alignment because every little knock and bump can have an effect on the alignment.
