Tire Safety Week, How to Check Your Tires & Other Tips
Tire Safety Week is May 20 to May 27, 2019 and the Rubber Manufacturers Association wants to remind drivers of the following tips, from the Be Tire Smart, Know Your Part flyer, here are a few things to remember:
- Check inflation pressure at least once a month and before
long trips. - Check tires when cool. After driving, tires need
at least 3 hours to cool. - Remember to check the spare.
- Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails
or other objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an
air leak. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges
or other irregularities. - Tire inflation pressure increases (in warm weather) or decreases (in cold
weather) 1-2 pounds for every 10 degrees of temperature change.
Other tips from the RMA include, making sure that your car has proper alignment, remember to rotate your tires for even wear and make sure that you have at least 2/32 of an inch tread on your tires.
