Importance of Tire Maintenance
Proper tire maintenance is critically important for keeping tires rolling
smoothly. When properly maintained and inflated, tires will provide shorter
stopping distances, better vehicle handling in emergency situations and
better fuel economy.

Keep tires properly inflated at all times.

Visually inspect tires for injuries prior to each trip.

Match dual tires for size and ensure tire pressures are within 5 PSI of
one another.

Re-tread tires before wear causes excessive belt damage or fatigue.
