Regular tire maintenance can help you avoid dangerous accidents while driving, especially in inclement weather conditions. Things like driving with the incorrect tire pressure and not enough tread can seriously affect the handling and braking of your vehicle. Here are a few regular maintenance tips you should be following:
- Rotate your tires. You should be rotating your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles. This helps the tires wear evenly.
- Check tire pressure and make sure it's at the recommended level. You should check your tire pressure at least once a month. It should also be checked before long trips and in cold weather.
- Periodically check the tires tread depth. Tread helps your tires get good traction on wet roads. A good way to check tread is to place a penny in the tire groove. If you can see Lincoln's head that means it's time to replace your tires.
These are just a few of the things you should include in your regular tire maintenance schedule. Contact our service department if you have any question regarding tire service or maintenance.
