Your tires are an important part of your vehicle. Good tire maintenance will help improve your gas mileage and also improve the safety of your new Jeep. Butler Jeep dealers have been in the car business for decades and know how to best improve tire longevity.
Weekly checks of your tire pressure should be part of your car maintenance routine. Use a tire gauge to check the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires. If your tires are low, inflate to the recommended pressure suggested by the manufacturer of the tire. Avoid over-inflation, as it can increase tread wear.
Also be sure to check for nails and glass, and cuts and holes. Slow leaks in your tires caused by a puncture can cause a flat and decrease the performance of your vehicle. Small holes and punctures can be repaired. If the damage is extensive, a new tire will be required.
Rotate your tires every 6,000 miles. Regular tire rotation will keep your tires from being quickly worn down. Failing to regularly rotate tires will cause them to become worn and eventually lose tread. Vehicles with low tread are more dangerous than vehicles with good tires, because they take longer to create the necessary friction to stop.
Good tire alignment is also important. If your car is pulling to the left or right as you drive, or if you’re experiencing a bumpier-than-usual ride, look into an alignment so you can be sure your tires are in good repair.
