Your car’s tires are going to wear out eventually, but there are some things you might be doing that could be taking years off their lifespan. Max Mile Car Care Center wants you to be aware of what those choices are so that you can choose wisely and protect your car’s tires.
Road Hazards
All sorts of stuff ends up in the road and your car ends up driving over a lot of it. Some of the stuff your car drives over you don’t even see. Avoiding as many of these road hazards as you possibly can is the best idea, of course, but it is impossible to some extent. What you can do is the best you can and make sure to check your tires regularly for signs of damage. Repairing that damage as quickly as possible can help you to keep the tires.
Driving Habits
Besides road hazards, you’re the next most dangerous problem for your car’s tires. Your own driving habits are harder on your car’s tires than you might believe. Speeding, cornering too fast, and stopping too hard all take a big toll on your car’s tires. And if you add in skipping wheel and tire services, like rotations and alignments, you’re unknowingly causing even more damage to your car’s tires.
Improper Inflation
If your car’s tires don’t have the right air pressure in them, they’re not going to be able to do their job properly. Over time, this can lead up to some serious damage. Your tires may even be in danger of blowing out at some point due to improper inflation. If you tend to rely on the car’s TPMS to tell you when the tires don’t have the right air pressure, you need to think again. The best thing to do is to check the tire pressure manually.
Excessive Cargo Loads
What you haul around in your car adds weight to what the engine hauls and can affect how the tires wear. All of that means that you could be chewing tread off your car’s tires simply by carrying too much around in your car’s trunk. Look at what you really need in there and what you can get rid of.
