Check the Air Pressure in all the Tires
The air pressure should be inspected regularly as well. Tires that are properly inflated can help to improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Under inflated tires will cause the tread to wear incorrectly. They will also have a great chance of blowing out. Tires that are over inflated will have less contact with the surface of the road. This can then lead to a less comfortable ride when traveling. Over inflated tires will also be more prone to pick up sharp objects. To know how much air should be in the tires, consult the vehicle owner’s manual. This can help to ensure they are at the correct amount.
Do not forget about the Spare Tire
While inspecting the tires, also remember to check the spare tire. This is important because the spare tire will be needed if a regular tire blows out or becomes flat. The air pressure should be checked on the spare tire as well. The tread is another important part of the spare tire. If the spare tire is old and worn, consider investing in a new spare tire for your vehicle. This can help it to be as reliable as possible for if you have to drive on it.
