There are several easy things you can do to help extend the life of your tires. These include:
Maintain the recommended air pressure: This is the easiest and best way to increase the lifespan of your tires. At a minimum, you should be checking the air pressure once a month, and even more frequently if you are putting a lot of miles on your vehicle.
Frequently inspect your tires: The chance that damaged tires can be repaired is much higher when things like punctures, embedded objects, or gouges are caught early. So, make sure you are visually inspecting your tires every couple of weeks.
Have routine tire rotation done: Maintaining routine tire rotations will significantly balance out the rate of wear on the tires’ tread. Your owner’s manual will have the manufacturer-recommended rotation schedule for your vehicle.
Maintain proper tire balance: Uneven tire wear can also be prevented by ensuring that the weight distribution around the diameter of your tires is correct.
Avoid hazards in the road: When you can, avoid driving over uneven pavement, potholes, and other road hazards. Doing so will help prevent wheel alignment issues that can cause uneven tire wear.
Reduce excess weight: When towing or hauling heavy loads, staying below your tires’ maximum load capacity will help reduce the stress on your tires.
