Tire Safety Tips You Need To Know

Safety Tips to Keep Your Tires in Top Shape

Tire Maintenance Tips

Your tires are the only part of the vehicle that contacts the road, making them a key to your safety. You can improve the safety of your commute and the comfort of your ride with tire maintenance and safety tips. For example, it’s important to check the pressure in your tires at least once per month. Proper inflation of your tires means you have the most comfortable ride and keeps the wear and tear of the sidewalls and tread consistent. You should inspect the sidewalls, tread, and other parts of your tires every few weeks. If you have your vehicle on a regular maintenance schedule with your repair shop, ask your mechanic to add tire inspection to your schedule. Suppose you’re in the Emmitsburg, MD area. In that case, the team at Dynamic Automotive will be happy to perform these inspections for you. You should also inspect your spare. You don’t want to find out your spare is flat or damaged when you’re stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire.

Tire Safety Tips

Tire safety starts in the shop where you buy your tires. Your tire choice will be dictated greatly by the size requirements of your wheels and vehicle. Your driving habits and the environment you drive most often can also affect your choice of tire when replacing old or worn tires. You should feel comfortable discussing your tire choices with knowledgeable customer service advisors at your preferred tire services and sales shop. You should also adjust your driving style to match conditions–slowing down in wet or icy conditions, etc. Suppose you can avoid scraping your tire sidewalls against curbs and other obstacles and move out of the way of road hazards. In that case, you’ll extend the life and maintain the safety of your tires.
