Extending the Life of Your Discount Tires

Choosing the right set of tires is a big investment in your vehicle's safety and performance. To get the most value out of your purchase, proper maintenance is important. By following a few simple care routines, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your discount tires, ensuring they perform reliably for many miles to come. Regular upkeep not only protects your investment but also enhances your vehicle's fuel efficiency and handling on the road.

Maintain Proper Tire Pressure

One of the most important aspects of tire care is maintaining the correct inflation pressure. Both underinflated and overinflated tires can lead to uneven tread wear, reducing the life of your tires. Underinflation causes excessive wear on the outer edges, while overinflation wears out the center of the tread more quickly. Check your tire pressure at least once a month using a reliable gauge and adjust it to the manufacturer's recommended level, which can be found in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the driver's side door jamb.

The Importance of Regular Rotations and Alignments

To promote even tread wear across all four tires, it is important to have them rotated regularly. A standard recommendation is to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. This practice helps ensure that your discount tires wear down at a consistent rate. Additionally, proper wheel alignment is crucial for tire longevity. If your vehicle is out of alignment, it can cause your tires to wear unevenly and prematurely. If you notice your vehicle pulling to one side or see uneven tread wear, it may be time for an alignment check.
