Tires should be checked at least once a month and before a long road trip for routine maintenance and safety.

Checking your tires for proper maintenance and safety is a simple, do-it-yourself routine that will get you road ready. As the only part of your vehicle connecting it to the road, checking them monthly and before road trips is recommended.

Follow these easy steps that take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

• Check the Pressure
  • Be sure to check air pressure when tires are cool (minimum three hours after driving).
  • Find manufacturer’s recommended air pressure located on the vehicle doorjamb, glove box, fuel door or the owner’s manual.
    • Note: the tire pressure listed on the tire sidewall is the maximum pressure, not the recommended pressure
  • Remove the valve cap and take the tire gauge and press firmly on valve stem.
  • If the reading is lower than the recommended level, add air and check again
  • Over inflated? Push on the metal valve core in the center of the valve with the nub on the back of the tire gauge to release air, and check again.
  • Once recommended pressure is reached, replace valve cap.

• Check the Tread
  • Insert the edge of a U.S. penny in the tire tread, with Lincoln’s head down.
  • If the top of Lincoln’s head is covered by tread, there is at least a minimum acceptable amount of tread.
  • If the top of his head is visible at any point around the tire, it is time to replace the tire.

• Check the Overall Condition
  • Visually check for cuts, cracks, splits, punctures, irregular wear and bulges.
  • If any of these conditions are spotted, or if you are doubtful about the condition of your tires, visit a dealer for a professional inspection.
