If you want to get the most out of your tires, it’s important to take care of them. There are several things that you can do to help ensure your tires are performing as they should be. Part 1 noted that regular tire rotations, keeping your tires inflated, and maintaining your wheel alignment are all important to help keep your tires and vehicle functioning optimally. Here are 3 more things you can do to help extend the lifespan of your tires: 

Have Your Tires Balanced

Are you noticing your vehicle is pulling to one side or the other when driving? Are you feeling vibrations when steering, or that your ride just isn’t as smooth as it used to be? Your vehicle might need tire balancing. Unbalanced tires contribute to uneven tread wear. Your tires need to be balanced when you replace two or four tires on your vehicle. Please note that it’s not a good idea to replace one single tire because this can cause alignment issues and cause unsafe handling of the vehicle. If you need to utilize a spare tire, this should be temporary, and you should take your vehicle into your local auto repair shop near Somerset WI. Uneven wear will become apparent after you’ve had your tires for a while, approximately after 1,000-2,000 miles. When you get your tires balanced, you’ll experience a smoother ride, better fuel efficiency, even tread wear, and you will ultimately extend the life of your tires. 

Keep Tires Clean

Keeping your tires clean plays a major part in helping to extend the life of your tires. If you haven’t gotten a car wash in a while, you’ll generally notice the body of your car accumulating dirt and dust. This buildup can also accumulate in and around your tires, impacting how your vehicle drives and contributing to uneven tread wear. Cleaning your tires also removes harmful brake dust and road salt that can threaten the durability of the tires. Keeping your tires clean can also prevent the accumulation of dry rot, generally characterized by cracks within the tire rubber. When dry rot is advanced, it can impact the outer edges of the tread, which can influence how your vehicle handles. Your local tire shop offers wheel refinishing services that completely restore your wheels.

Get The Right Tires 

Your vehicle must have the right tires that suit your vehicle. Each vehicle has a particular tire size that will be optimal for that specific make and model. The tire width, height compared to the width, and the diameter all factor into the right tires for your car.
