How to save money through proper tire care!

Proper tire pressure can save more than just tires! Under inflated tires are one of the most common causes of decreased fuel economy. Proper tire maintenance will save you money on fuel and on tire replacement intervals. A properly inflated tire should have the entire tread surface of the tire making constant contact with the pavement. Having your tires under inflated will cause your tire to contact the pavement on the inner and outer edges only which will result in the tread being depleted in an irregular pattern. On the other hand it is not a good idea to over inflate your tires either. Overinflated tires will not rob you of fuel economy however, they will wear out in the center of the tread pattern at a higher rate and cause shorter tire life. On top of tire pressure another key to extending tire life and maximizing your investment is to have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles (we recommend every other oil change, based on a 3,000 mile oil change interval). If you will put these tips to practice you will see you can save MPG on your fuel gauge as well as extend the life of your tires, but above all protect the safety of your family. God Bless.
