Tire Tips

Obey the speed limit. Driving at higher speeds increases tire temperature and causes extra wear.

  1. Use the recommended size tire for your truck or RV. Undersized tires waste gas and may lose 10% of their life.
  2. Keep tires inflated at the recommended pressure as instructed in your vehicle owner manual. Because tire pressure increases as tires heat up, check and adjust pressure when the tire is cool.
  3. Start and stop your vehicle slowly when possible and decelerate before turns or corners. Fast starts and stops as well as tire squealing wear more rubber off your tires and take miles off their operating life.
  4. Obey the speed limit. Driving at higher speeds increases tire temperature and causes extra wear.
  5. Balance your tires often and rotate every 6,000-8,000 miles (or as recommended by your tire manufacturer) to save hundreds of miles in wear.
  6. Radial tires improve gas mileage, but steel-belted tires are generally the most efficient.
  7. Avoid potholes and slow down on rough roads. Damaging your tires will decrease their useful life.
  8. Try buying retread tires to encourage markets that reuse old tires. Buying retread tires will decrease the public nuisance of improperly disposed tires.
