TIRE CARE TIPS

All Tech Automotive has worked tirelessly to provide discount tire service in Saratoga, NY & Albany, NY areas. Through their tenure of dedicated service, they’ve stressed that the key to securing steady performance from your car and tires is adhering to the maintenance timetables outlined in your vehicles owner’s manual.

The well-being of your car’s tires will contribute to your mileage and vehicle performance. By managing and up keeping your investment, you may manage to extend the life of your tires and protect the money in your wallet. Through simple preventative maintenance steps like rotating your tires, replacing when necessary, checking tire pressure and a range of other methods; you may be able to secure consistent performance for the long term.

USE THE FOLLOWING AUTO REPAIR & TIRE MAINTENANCE TIPS:

  • Stay on top of managing your tire pressure. Proper inflation can protect your tires in both the long and short term. If you’re underinflated, you’re running the risk of misbalanced heat, uneven wear and decreased efficiency when braking or handling. Make sure your tires are inflated to the manufacturer’s standards to maximize the integrity of the tread and keep fuel efficiency.
  • Never shirk the responsibility to rotate your tires regularly. Routinely rotating your tires will evenly distribute the regular, unavoidable wear and tear of driving. Simply check your automobile’s owner’s manual for explicit instructions on rotation patterns and timing for maximum efficiency. It should be noted that rotating your tires is not a cure-all for the wear caused by mechanical issues and poor components.
  • Balancing the tires is another way of ensuring that your car handles wear evenly. Bumps and uneven roads will only exacerbate the problem, so even out your tires whenever you get the chance.
  • Always install new tires in sets or pairs. Adding just one new tire will create instability that affects everything from handling to mileage and tread lifespan. When new tires are purchased, they should be installed on the rear of the vehicle in question.
  • When storing seasonal tires, make sure to leave them in a dark area with low humidity; an area that avoid direct sunlight. Also, steer clear of storing your tires nears grease, oils or cleaning solvents that may have deteriorating effects on your tires.
  • Always be mindful of the current state of your tires. Track wear and tear, embedded objects and cracking. There should be few surprises in sustained tire maintenance.
  • Always make sure that you have a properly inflated spare tire that is ready for use. It’s best to be prepared for any situation that may arise.

Finally, never forget that the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA) advises that you dedicate 5 minutes each month to inspecting your tires. With proper attention and the dedicated maintenance of the numerous mechanical issues that may contribute to uneven tire wear, you will be able to maximize the lifespan of your tires and optimize your vehicle’s performance.
