There are a lot of people in Brattleboro, VT who don't know how to take care of their tires. This is unfortunate because it's pretty easy and can save you a lot of time and money in the long run. In this blog post, we will talk about two things that affect your tire pressure: tread depth and temperature. We'll also talk about how to check your tire pressure, what the air pressure should be, as well as some tips on increasing your car's gas mileage!
Tread Depth - Tires are considered to be bald when they have less than 2/32" of tread left. This is the minimum amount of tread depth you should allow on your tires before replacing them and is based on the Department of Transportation's recommended tire life. If your tires reach this point before 60% of their useful life, you can be eligible for a rebate on your next set of tires!
The worn tread may cause your tire to slip or hydroplane. That means it will lose traction with the road, which could lead to an accident. You can also expect to have low gas mileage and poor handling if you don't replace worn tires as soon as possible.
