A Tire Maintenance Guide To Be Thankful For

by Hall Mazda Virginia Beach

Properly maintaining your tires is important for vehicle longevity, safety, and fuel efficiency - which are all major factors in having a stress-free holiday road trip. To make sure you are safe on your travels, we put together this easy-to-follow tire guide.

Tire Pressure: If your vehicle doesn’t have the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, then you will need a tire gauge to determine your tire pressure. Tire pressure varies by vehicle make and model and can find that information in your owner’s manual or on the sticker located on the driver's side door jamb.
Inspect Your Tires: After you have checked your tire pressure, you should make a point to also inspect your tires. You want to look for any cracks, bulges, punctures, or anything unusual. If you spot any of these issues, you should bring your vehicle to be checked by a skilled technician at Hall Mazda Virginia Beach.
Tread Check: Tires with low tread can lead to loss of tire pressure and even a blowout. To measure your tire tread, you will need a Tread Depth Gauge or you can do the Quarter Test. Insert the quarter upside with Washington facing you into the tread groove. If you cannot see Washington’s head, your tire tread is good. However, if you can see all of Washington’s head, then you may need to replace your tires.
Rotating Your Tires: Most makes require regular tire rotations to ensure all 4 tires maintain the same level of tread, which can increase the longevity of your tires. Check your owner's manual to see if your make and model require a tire rotation.
