Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated
One of the simplest yet most important things you can do to maximize the lifespan of your Toyota's tires is to maintain proper tire pressure. Check your tire pressure at least once a month when the tires are cold, and inflate them to the PSI specified in your owner's manual or on the tire information placard located on the driver's side doorjamb.
Rotate Tires Regularly
Rotating your tires on a regular basis helps ensure even tread wear. Your front and rear tires experience different stresses and wear patterns. By having your tires rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, you allow the tread to wear down more evenly, which prolongs the overall life of the set.
Have Your Wheel Alignment Checked
If you notice your Toyota pulling to one side or vibrating strangely, it may be due to misaligned wheels. Proper wheel alignment is crucial for even tire wear and safe handling. Misalignment can be caused by hitting potholes, curbs, or driving on rough roads, which are common occurrences for drivers in Walnut Creek and other parts of the Bay Area.
Know When It's Time for New Tires
Even with diligent care, your Toyota's tires will eventually need to be replaced. Low tread is the clearest sign your tires need attention. Other signs it's time for replacement include cracks, bulges, or blisters on the sidewalls, or excessive vibration while driving.
