CEO Tire Safety Tips

Do you drive a lot? Most entrepreneurs do! Here are some great tire tips I got from my mother. She often worries about me traveling and driving all over town.

These tire safety tips can save you money on new tires, give your customers a smooth ride and may even save your life while on the road.

#1 Check tire pressures and adjust at least once a month.
Tires gradually loose pressure through the sidewalls of the tire and changes in
weather can change the pressure as well as carrying extra passengers.

#2 Inspect tires regularly for abnormal wear or damage.
Look for excessive or uneven tread wear, cracks, bulges, nails or glass
embedded in the tire.

#3 Never overload a tire.
This is the second leading cause of tire failure next to under inflation.

#4 Avoid overheating tires.
Heat can be caused by temperature, high speeds, high loads, under inflation,
coarse pavement or aggressive driving: high cornering, hard braking.

#5 Rotate tires every 7,500 miles or according to owner's manual.
This achieves even tread wear and tire longevity.

#6 Maintain tires in proper balance.
If you don't this can cause an uncomfortable ride, uneven tread wear and
excessive wear on the suspension.

#7 Maintain steering and suspension in proper alignment.
If your steering wheel pulls to one side you probably have an alignment issue.

#8 Replace tires when required.
Any portion of the tread is worn to the :wear indicator bars" - lateral bars
molded into the tire grooves at about 20% of their new tread depth.

#9 Install tires in matched pairs or complete sets.
It is imperative that tires be installed in front or rear pairs, or complete
sets. Do not mix different construction (radial and bias ply) or different
classification (all-season and winter) on opposite ends or sides since handling
can be adversely affected. tire dealers are now required to follow these rules.

I thought these tips were great and I have 2 tires I know are worn on the outside edges.

Any suggestions on where to go?
