When should tires be rotated?

The exact number varies from car to car, but the average is once every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. It’s wise to have your tires checked every time you bring your vehicle in for an oil change.

When do tires need to be replaced?

When you have your tires rotated regularly, they should last you a good long while. You’ll still need to get new ones every 5 years or so, especially if you drive regularly in inclement weather.

How do tires influence gas mileage?

When your tires are either over- or underinflated, it can negatively impact your fuel economy. One of the best ways to save money on gas is to have your tire pressure set at the manufacturer’s recommended level.

Why is my tire maintenance warning light on?

Your tire maintenance warning light can come on for a number of reasons, including:

• A sudden change in weather or atmospheric pressure
• Too much or too little tire pressure
• Because you have exceeded the mileage setting between tire rotations

What wears out car tires?

All tires wear down over time, but if they are wearing out quickly, it may be due to either the pressure or the alignment. If your tires are underinflated, overinflated, or misaligned, they can wear down faster.
