Do the following to ensure safe tires: Rotate tires every six to eight thousand miles to encourage even tread wear. Be sure to check for tread depth by simply placing a penny upside down in your tire's tread. If you can see the top of Abe's head, it's time for a new set of tires. If your tire valve caps are cracked or missing, have them replaced. It's best to inspect your tires including your spare each month and before a road trip. Look for cuts, punctures, and signs of uneven tire wear, which may be a sign of a more serious problem. Incorrect tire pressures are one cause of uneven wear patterns. Refer to your owner's manual or manufacturer's sticker located on the door jam for the correct pressure. It's also possible that your tires may be out of balance or need alignment.
