Check your tire pressures frequently. Twice a week is perfect. Bad tire pressures likely affect handling, fuel economy and comfort. It is easy to do and there’s no reason not to.
- Checking the Tread Depth
Slick, bald tires may be excellent for motor racing, but they are no good when it comes to the road. Most tires come with these bars tread wear built into them now.
