Car for your car tires like an expert with these simple tips
Do you think you do a good job taking care of your car tires? It’s a pretty essential part of car care, after all – your tires play a crucial part in performance and if you’re not taking care of them, you’ll likely have to replace them more often AND face the possibility of flats and blowouts. Toyota of Orlando’s auto service techs made a list of seven quick tips to help you care for your car tires like an expert – check it out!
7 car tire care tips
Tip 1: Check your tire pressure on the regular. How often do you check your car tire pressure? We recommend performing this easy maintenance once a week – all you have to do is use a tire pressure gauge to quickly read the number. Make sure your tires are properly inflated to the proper PSI (you can find it on the doorjamb of the driver’s side door) and if they’re low, add air to get them to the right level.
Tip 4: Care for your spare. Don’t forget about your spare! You never know when you’ll need it, so take it out of the trunk once a month and check the PSI as well as the general condition to ensure you can use it should you ever be stuck in a pinch.
Tip 5: Mix it up. Get tire rotations as scheduled! Our Orlando Toyota service techs can get you on a schedule for this essential car maintenance. They’ll switch your tires from left to right and front to back to make sure they all wear evenly and last longer.
Tip 6: Don’t put off repairs. If you need repairs or maintenance, don’t put it off. Driving on a damaged tire leaves you prone to blowouts (and accidents), and hitting a pothole or curb can actually damage your car’s alignment. Schedule service at our Orlando auto service center as soon as you can.
Tip 7: Be a mindful driver. Be mindful – try to avoid road debris and other hazards so you don’t damage your tires, and don’t drive around constructions sites (there are nails, screws, and other sharp objects everywhere!).
