TIRE MAINTENANCE

A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE

Your tires are the foundation of your vehicle’s safety, performance, and efficiency. Proper maintenance ensures a smoother, more reliable driving experience. Explore our comprehensive guide to tire care, covering everything from tire pressure to storage.

TIRE PRESSURE

THE KEY TO PERFORMANCE

Maintaining the correct tire pressure is essential for optimal safety, handling, and fuel efficiency.

  • Why It Matters: Proper inflation prevents uneven wear, improves fuel economy, and extends tire life.
  • Check Routine: Inspect tire pressure monthly and before long trips.
  • Quick Tips:
    • Use a reliable pressure gauge.
    • Check when tires are cold for accurate readings.
    • Follow your vehicle’s recommended pressure levels.

TREAD WEAR

STAY SAFE WITH REGULAR CHECKS

Tread depth directly impacts your vehicle’s grip and handling, especially in wet or slippery conditions.

  • Why It Matters: Prevent hydroplaning, maintain traction, and reduce accident risks.
  • When to Replace: Check tread depth monthly and replace tires when grooves fall below
    the recommended depth.
  • How to Check: Use a tread depth gauge or monitor the Tread Wear Indicators (TWIs).

TIRE ROTATION

BALANCE FOR LONGEVITY

Rotating tires regularly ensures even wear and prolongs their lifespan.

  • Why It Matters: Prevents uneven wear, improves handling, and saves money.
  • Rotation Patterns: Tailored for front-wheel, rear-wheel, and four-wheel drive vehicles.
  • Schedule: Rotate tires every six months or 10,000 km for best results.

TIRE BALANCE

SMOOTH RIDES, EVERY TIME

Balancing your tires eliminates vibrations and ensures a smoother driving experience.
  • Why It Matters: Reduces strain on vehicle components and extends tire life.
  • Signs You Need Balancing:
    Process: Adjust balance weights to ensure even tire rotation.
    • Vibrations while driving.
    • Uneven wear or missing balance weights.
  • Process: Adjust balance weights to ensure even tire rotation.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

PRECISION FOR PERFORMANCE

Proper wheel alignment keeps your vehicle handling smoothly and your tires lasting longer.
  • Why It Matters: Prevents uneven wear, boosts fuel efficiency, and improves stability.
    Signs of Misalignment:
  • Recommended Schedule: Check alignment with every tire change or annually.

TIRE REPLACEMENT

PRIORITIZE SAFETY & PERFORMANCE

Knowing when to replace your tires ensures your vehicle remains road-ready.

  • When to Replace:
    • Severe tread wear below the recommended depth.
    • Irreparable damage, such as deep punctures or sidewall cracks.
  • Tips for Replacement:
    • Replace all four tires for uniform performance.
    • If replacing two, mount new tires on the rear for better stability.

TIRE STORAGE

PRESERVING PERFORMANCE

Proper storage techniques protect your tires during off-seasons or when not in use.

  • Why It Matters: Prevents premature aging, cracking, and deformation.
  • Storage Tips:
    • Store tires in a cool, dry, and clean environment.
    • Tires with wheels: Stack horizontally.
    • Tires without wheels: Stand upright and rotate periodically.
    • Keep away from heat, sunlight, and chemicals.
