Because Tough Tires Deserve More Than the Bare Minimum
Your tires aren’t just rubber—they’re the only thing standing between you and the road. If you push your vehicle hard, your tires better be ready to handle it. But even the toughest tires won’t last without proper care.
Here’s how to get more performance, more durability, and more control out of your tires.
1. Tire Pressure: More Than Just a Number
Tire pressure affects handling, braking, fuel efficiency, and tread life. Too low? You burn fuel and wear your tires faster. Too high? You lose grip.
Check your PSI monthly (and always before a long drive)
Adjust for the season – Cold air = lower PSI, warm air = higher PSI
Stick to your vehicle’s recommended PSI
2. Tread Depth: Your Built-In Safety System
More tread = more grip. Worn tread means longer stopping distances and weaker handling—especially in wet or loose conditions.
Quick Test: Stick a quarter into your tread grooves. If you can see Washington’s head, it’s time for new tires.

3. Rotate & Align: Keep Your Ride Balanced
Unbalanced or misaligned tires cause uneven wear, shaky steering, and a rough ride. Regular rotation and alignment keep handling sharp and tread life even.
Rotate every 5,000-8,000 miles (or with every oil change)
Get an alignment check if your steering feels off
Balance your tires if you feel vibrations at high speeds
4. The Right Tire for the Right Job
Not all tires are built the same. If you’re pushing your vehicle beyond basic commuting, your tires should match your driving style.

Built to Endure—But Only If You Back Them Up
You count on your tires to go the distance—through heat, rain, rough roads, and heavy loads. But even the most durable tires need attention to perform at their best. A few minutes of regular care goes a long way in making sure your tires stay sharp, safe, and ready for whatever’s next.
