4 Tasks to Keep Your Tires in Perfect Shape
Often, one of the most overlooked parts of a vehicle is the tires. Keeping tires in top-notch shape is a must. Having quality tires allows your vehicle to handle better, increases gas mileage, can save money, and keeps you from being stranded. Here are four tasks to keep your tires in perfect shape.
1. Check Air Pressure
The first task that most people neglect to do is to check your tire’s air pressure. This should be completed once a month or after a long trip. It’s best to check the pressure in your car in the morning before you start driving. Check the pressure in all four wheels, plus the spare. Having the proper pressure in your tires will save you money by increasing the life of the tire and by improving the performance of your vehicle, resulting in better gas mileage.

Motor oil thins when it heats up and thickens as it cools. Thicker oil does a better job of maintaining a protective film between moving parts. The higher that second number, 10W-40 versus 10W-30, the more resistant that particular bottle of oil is to thinning. Read the rest of this entry »
