Your tires are quite literally the “feet” of your vehicle. And like our own feet, sometimes things can get out of balance (which hurts.) Unlike cranky human feet, when tires go out of whack, it can have serious effects on the safety and efficiency of your car or truck. To get the best performance (and longest life) from your tires, put these tasks on your maintenance schedule. The expert service department of Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA will ensure that your vehicle is serviced quickly and efficiently, and that you’re back on the road in no time. OK, so here are the three things to pay attention to when it comes to your tires.
STEP 1: TIRE ROTATIONS
Like shoes, your tires don’t “wear” evenly. It’s smart to rotate your tires regularly. Every six months (or 6K-8K miles) is a good schedule to keep in mind. Rotating your tires, from front to back and left to right, is a great way to get the most out of every mile and to ensure that each tire is wearing evenly.
STEP 2: WHEEL ALIGNMENTS
When your vehicle is new, the alignment of your tires is in perfect position. As you drive, little things knock them out of balance. From hitting a curb to a fender bender, your wheels get pushed out of joint. That can increase the “wear” on a tire – especially if it’s rubbing up against something. A “wheel alignment” check will put things back on the right track.
STEP 3: WHEEL BALANCING
When your wheels are balanced, you get optimal performance from your vehicle. When they’re not, you’re going to experience more wear and tear on your tires. That everyday stress creates weak spots on the tire(s), as well as imbalanced weight. And that can lead to wobbles, weird vibrations as you drive – and eventually, possible flats and blowouts.
