1. Keep the tires’ pressure in the “right” level. This means that you have to have a tire pressure gauge in your tool box ready at all times. Improperly inflated tires increase the incidence of wear and tear. It will also result in poorer gas mileage.
2. Do tire rotations regularly. The tires on the “drive” tend to wear out faster. Experts suggest that tires are rotated every 8,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent faster wear and tear. Keep a log of your rotations to guide you in this.
3. Your tire center matters. There are tire centers that offer free replacement of punctured tires provided that the damage was not the result of your negligence. In many cases, the store where you purchased your tires also offer free rotation. This is important to you not because of the freebies but because you will have someone to help you monitor your tire care schedules.
