Inspect & Maintain Tires

You can consult your vehicle’s owners manual to find the optimal tire pressure the manufacturer recommends, and you can check the tread left on your tires with easy to distinguish tread-wear markers directly on your tires. Avoid tire blowouts by rotating your tires every few months, ensuring even wear across all four tires.
