Checking the tires is important. When checking the tire pressure, take into account the vehicle’s weight and size. You can find the recommended amount of air pressure inside the doorjamb of your car. You can also look in the owner’s manual for the vehicle for the correct amount. If you ever have questions, make sure to contact us. We can advise you on the issue and help keep your vehicle safe and reliable. It is always best to have the tires checked on a regular basis, especially before making any long drive.
Checking The Tires and Air Pressure
If the pressure is above the recommended level, remove the tire and check for problems with it. You will also want to fill the air in the tire if it is below the recommended amount too. If there is a leak in the tire, you will notice that it is low quite often. Make sure to bring the vehicle in so we can inspect the tire completely for any issues. If there is a puncture or damage, investing in a new tire may be recommended. It is also always best to by tires in as a pair, and rotate them. This can help prolong the life and longevity of the tires.
Remember to Check the Tread
When checking the tires, remember to check the tread at this time as well. Making sure the tread is correct is important. You can do so by taking a penny and placing it in the tread wear. Make sure that the penny and Lincoln’s head is upside down. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, then the tread is too low. Also check for evenness of the tread wear. This is on all four tires of the vehicle. If there is uneven wear on the tires, then contact us for an appointment. This way we can inspect the tires for you and help ensure the vehicle is safe to drive.
