6 Easy Steps To Getting The Most Out Of  Your Tires

1.  Know the difference between price & cost- When done right, tire shopping can be more difficult then one would think. Make sure you are getting the most for your money. Not just the cheapest tire.

2.   Choose the right tire for your application. If you don’t have the right tire for your application, you cannot possibly expect the best results from that tire.

3.   Maintaining your tires- it is always important to regularly check your air pressure, your tread depth, tread face & alignment. When you are keeping proper air pressure and watching your tread you will be able to identify irregular wear problems easier.

4.  Speed:  maintaining a reasonable speed is going to save your tires and your fuel. Also, make sure you know what your tires are speed rated at.

5.   Rotation: Tire rotation can save you a lot of wear on your tires. The most advantageous type of rotation used is the X pattern rotation.

6.   Here is a bonus option, though it might not be for everyone.  Capping- if you run a good quality tire on your drive axle, you can cap your tires the first time with a drive cap, run them again on your drive axle, cap them the second time with a trailer cap and run them out.
