The recommended tire pressure for your vehicle can usually be found in your owner's manual or on a sticker inside the driver's door jamb. It's crucial to maintain the correct tire pressure for several reasons. First, it ensures optimal tire performance, including proper traction, handling, and fuel efficiency. Second, it extends the lifespan of your tires by preventing uneven wear. Lastly, it contributes to your safety on the road by reducing the risk of blowouts and improving overall vehicle stability. We recommend checking your tire pressure regularly, at least once a month, and especially before long trips.

The frequency of wheel alignments depends on various factors, including your driving habits and road conditions. As a general guideline, it's a good idea to have your wheels aligned at least once a year or if you notice any of the following signs: uneven or rapid tire wear, your vehicle pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or experiencing a bump or impact, like hitting a pothole. Regular alignments not only improve tire longevity but also enhance vehicle stability and handling.

All-season tires are designed to provide decent performance in various weather conditions, making them suitable for most regions with mild climate changes. Summer tires offer excellent grip and handling in warm weather but can lose traction in colder temperatures. Winter tires, on the other hand, have a special rubber compound and tread pattern optimized for cold and snowy conditions, ensuring superior traction and control. To decide which tires to use, consider your local climate.
