Five Minute Tire Care "Proper tire care and safety is simple and easy. The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) recommends taking five minutes every month and before every long trip to check your tires, including the spare. Just remember to 'Be Tire Smart - Play Your PART: Pressure, Alignment, Rotation, Tread.'"
PRESSURE … We've said it many times, but we can't stress it enough: under-inflation is a tire's number one enemy! It results in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. A tire can lose up to half its air pressure and not even appear to be flat.
ALIGNMENT … A hard jolt from striking a curb or hitting a pothole can throw your front end out of alignment and damage your tires. Have the automotive experts at Rothrock Nissan Dodge Chrysler Jeep Isuzu periodically inspect your alignment to ensure your vehicle is properly aligned.
ROTATION … When you get your tires rotated regularly, you are promoting uniform tire wear which can increase tire life and help prevent issues like tire noise and the vehicle pulling to one side. Unless your vehicle owner's manual has a specific recommendation, the guideline for tire rotation is approximately every 5,000 miles.
TREAD … Measure it. Inspect it. Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the tread's ability to grip the road. Have your tires checked for uneven wear and signs of damage.
