Basic car care - part 1 TIRES

Posted on 8/23/2016

The cars & trucks we drive today are more complex and complicated then

earlier vehicles. Today we have more computer electronics, silicon chips

and higher quality engines. All that said, the basic car care still applies

to all the vehicles we drive and will extend the life and durability of all your

vehicles.

This isn’t as intimidating as one would think, do a visual check of exterior.

Tires, check at least every week, especially in our extreme temperatures.

What to look for? Your drivers door should have a sticker that shows the

PSI(pounds per square inch) If you don’t have a tire gauge, get one at a auto supply

store, or Wal-Mart or Meijers most certainly have them. Check with us about

how inflated your tire should be.

A visual check is just as important and can

tell you a lot. You can see if the tire needs air or if they look equal.
