Tire maintenance & safety
When it comes to tire care and maintenance, do you know the big four? Pressure, alignment, rotation, and tread. But even if you’re diligent about these (you are, right?), there’s one thing too many drivers forget about when it comes to tire care. And it’s hiding in their trunk.
The spare tire.
Spare tires need some TLC too. And exactly what your spare tire needs will depend on what kind it is.
You should be checking your tire pressure once a month. If you have a spare tire, please spare a moment (I couldn’t resist) and check its pressure too.
Okay I can let you off easy on this one. Alignment only applies to tires currently in use on your vehicle, so you don’t need to worry about spare tire alignment. See? Spare tire care is even easier than normal tire care.
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend tire rotation, which is the regular switching of a tire’s position on a vehicle to help all the tires wear more evenly.
Ah, the final step in tire care and maintenance—checking that the tire itself is up to snuff. A tire is only as good as its tread, after all.
It may sound daunting, but maintaining spare tires is actually pretty easy. Keep ‘em inflated to the right pressure, rotate them if they’re full-size, and replace ‘em when they’ve reached the end of the road. Not too bad, huh? What kind of spare tire do you have? Do you give it the care it deserves? Or do you have a tire repair kit? Or run-flat tires maybe?
