Basic Tyre Maintenance Tips to Prolong The
Lifespan

• Tire longevity is an age-old mystery that has no
  definite answer. Several factors play into it,
  some of which are beyond your control (for
  example, weather conditions). The durability of
  tires varies based on the quality, driving style,
  region. In the event that they fail at the last
  minute, theres no alternative other than to
  replace them.
• A good set of tires is vital to the proper
  functioning of your car as well as your own
  safety. It is possible, however, to postpone tire
  replacement as much as possible. Here are 5 tips
  for extending the lifespan of tires.

Get the pressure checked.

• Its the easiest, fastest, and cheapest method
  for extending tire life. Many vehicle owners
  overlook it. It is good practice to check your
  tire pressure at least once a month and before
  each long trip, even with new tires. Leaving them
  off will lead to noise vibration.
• It is important to determine the optimal pressure
  based on the vehicles weight and how many people
  it usually transports. You can find the pressure
  sticker on the bottom of the center (B) pillar or
  in the owners manual. Its visible when opening
  the drivers door.

Get tread wear checked

• The outer wall of a tyre has a small arrow
  indicating tread wear. You can find the wear
  indicator on the tyres surface if you follow the
  arrow on the tread face. If the tread wear
  indicator touches the outermost layer of the
  tyre, its time for a replacement. Any tire with
  less than 2mm of depth remaining needs to be
  replaced right away.

5
Prevent overloading.

• The major support for your car comes from its
  tires. Your tyre longevity will undoubtedly
  suffer if you frequently overload it with big
  items or even fetch more people than you should.
  It is not advised for you to overload your car
  unless you have no other option if you want to
  prevent premature or irregular wear and tear of
  your tires.
• It is great if you can adhere to the load index
  that the manufacturer has provided for your
  tires. Frequent overloading can also put you at
  risk because it might damage your tires by
  generating more heat than they can handle.

6
Get the tires rotated regularly.

• Your cars tires typically experience varied
  levels and rates of wear and tear. Thus, rotating
  your tires is a very effective way to balance out
  the wear on your tires.
• How frequently your automobile needs a tire
  rotation depends on a variety of factors,
  including your driving style, the state of the
  road, and other tyre maintenance habits. A decent
  general rule of thumb is, however, once every six
  months or when your mileage reaches 10,000
  kilometers, whichever comes first.

7
Adjust your driving style.

• Avoid channeling your inner Ken Block and just
  drive normally if you are concerned about the
  condition of your tires and, more crucially, your
  cash. Tires will wear more quickly as a result of
  aggressive acceleration, braking, and steering.
• It can be difficult to resist the urge to
  constantly floor the gas pedal when driving a
  powerful vehicle, but at least attempt to limit
  how often you do it. If you need help with your
  tires, we can get you set up and ready to go!
