Denver wheel alignment services shop Mile High Denver Auto Repair releases public service announcement to inform drivers on recommended tire maintenance practices
Denver, Colorado, July 31, 2010 - Mile High Denver Auto Repair today released summary information to inform drivers on recommended tire maintenance tips for motor vehicles. Tire condition is extremely important to safe highway driving so attention to tires is generally considered a priority maintenance item. An added benefit is improved gas mileage that’s always of interest to cost-conscious drivers. Best practices and tips include:
1. Maintain correct air pressure. An automobile’s correct tire pressure specification is usually indicated in the vehicle’s glove compartment or on the side panels of the car’s doors. Maintaining the correct tire pressure not only promotes a smooth ride but helps boost gas mileage. It’s easy to understand that a tire with lower than normal air pressure will not roll as freely. Instead what’s known as ‘drag’ is created and along with it increased friction, thus lowering the car’s gas mileage performance. Additionally a tire with incorrect pressure will not handle as well and performance can be impaired. Pay special attention to tire pressure when the temperature drops significantly. A general guideline is to expect a drop in air pressure of one pound for each temperature drop of ten degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Rotate tires periodically. Tire rotation helps promote equal wear on the tires to maximize their useful lifespan. For many drivers tire rotation every six months may be a good guideline to observe. Some differences in tire types, for example radial versus bias belted tires, may call for maintenance specific to the tire type. Radial tires are known for producing less road friction and therefore tend to produce improved gas mileage. A service facility such as Mile High Denver Auto Repair can provide advice to motorists seeking the best suited tire for their car. When it’s time to replace tires it well worth consulting a mechanic or tire professional who can provide expert advice on the types of tires to consider.
3. Pay attention to wheel alignment. Ensuring proper wheel alignment is one of the best investments drivers can make to ensure safety, better handling, promote fuel efficiency, and last but not least to increase the longevity of tire wear. Improperly aligned tires can result in increased road friction leading to excess drag as well as decreased handling and stability.
