  • Check the pressure in your tires at least once a month
  • Find the recommended tire pressure in your Owner's Manual or on the tire pressure placard inside the drivers door,door pillar, or glovebox
  • Tires lose about one pound per square inch (PSI) every 30 days, and an additional 1 PSI for every 10 degree drop in temperature
  • Measure the tire pressure when the tires are cold (car parked for at least one hour in the shade, or early morning
  • Pump or deflate to the proper pressure
  • Maximum pressure imprinted on the tires is NOT the proper pressure
  • Under-inflated tires wear our faster, create excessive heat, lessen fuel economy, and make your car hard to handle
  • Over-inflated tires can "blow-out" more easily, wear faster, and make car unstable and hard to handle
When is it time to get new tires?
  • More than 6 years old: tires degrade over time depending on many factors (weather, storage conditions, conditions of use,etc)
  • Tread has worn down to less than 3/32"
  • Bulges, blisters, or bubbles
  • Cracking in the tread grooves
  • Punctures, cuts, separation in tire tread, or sidewall
  • Sudden loss of tire pressure
  • Poor handling on slippery surfaces
  • Pulling to one side while driving
  • Sudden vibration while driving
  • Tires that have been driven when flat
What is tread wear?
Closely examine your tires to determine if the tire is wearing properly or if replacement should be considered.
  • Excessive wear on the inner or outer edge of the tire suggests something may be wrong with the wheel alignment.
  • Center of the tire is quicker to wear than the edges, then the tire is likely over-inflated.
  • Outer edges of the tire wears faster than the center, the tire is likely under-inflated.
  • Diagonal scalloping on the tire, known as cupping wear, suggests the suspension may be worn, bent or somehow compromised.
  • Patchy wear implies the tire is out of balance.
