Check your tires air pressure
If you plan on checking the tire pressure of your Jeep yourself, all you need to do is check the sidewall of your tires. You will find the tire size, brand, and tire pressure information on the sidewall of your tires. You need to find the "PSI," which is how tire pressure is measured for tires, Pounds per Square Inch. The size of the tire and the type of tire help to determine the air pressure. Once you have checked the sidewall and know the PSI, make sure that you keep your tires at the recommended tire pressure so your tires live a long life and you remain safe.
Make sure you tires are properly aligned
There are a few other areas that you need to know to ensure your tires' life and safety. The first is the alignment, which should be completed by our professionals here at East Hills Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM every time you purchase a new set of tires, feel a vibration on your steering wheel, or if the steering wheel is pulling to one side and not staying centered. All of these are signs you need to have your tires aligned. Hitting a pothole or difficult terrain can also kick your wheels out of alignment. Do you best not to ignore this as it can put your tires' safety and health in jeopardy. Stop by East Hills Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM and makes sure your Jeep's tires are properly aligned.
Check your tires tread depth
The depth of the tread on your tires determines the amount of grip you will have on the road. The tread on your tires is significant and should be checked often. To check the tread of the tire, most recommend the "penny" check, which involves taking a penny with Lincoln's head upright and inserting it between the tire's treads. If you can see the full head of Lincoln's head completely, then your tires are worn and need to be replaced by heading down to East Hills Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM as soon as possible.
Get your tires rotated
The last thing we are going to mention is tire rotation. Getting your tires rotated often is a good rule of thumb as it allows your tires to wear evenly, which allows your tires to live a longer life. Due to the weight distribution changes, be sure to check the air pressure after a few days. To keep your tires in good shape and improve their life, be sure to drive cautiously, avoid sharp turns and stops, and be aware of potholes and debris on the road. Be sure never to overload your vehicle with weight. Your Jeep's tires are the most important part of your Jeep and too often get ignored.
