There are plenty of ways for drivers to extend their vehicle’s lifespan or improve its appearance, but the most important maintenance you can do is the kind that keeps you safe. Tire blowouts not only cause damage and ruin your day, they can even be a safety hazard to you and your fellow drivers.
A visual inspection of your tire from time to time can go a long way toward avoiding blowout triggers. Either you or your technician should check for tears, low tread, uneven wear patches or foreign objects embedded in the tire’s surface, like nails or screws. Maintaining a constant and correct tire pressure will avoid creating damaging wear on your tires that leads to blowouts. The weight your vehicle carries puts strain on the tires. If you’re going to be hauling heavy loads, make sure you stay inside the suggested hauling range for your vehicle.
