It's imperative to make sure you're driving in a safe automobile. With that in mind, some of the most important parts of your car are its tires. To drive safely, your automobile needs tires with proper tread and pressure.
First, let's start with your tire tread. The tread of your tires helps your automobile maintain traction on the road. It's recommended to check the tread of your tires at least once a month. To check the tread, you'll need a tread depth gauge. The proper tire tread depth is 6/32 or deeper. If your tread depth is 2/32 or less, it's time to replace your tires right away.
Now, it's time to determine proper tire pressure. To do this, unscrew your tire's cap. With a tire pressure gauge, press down on the stem valve. Check your automobile's manual to determine proper pressure levels.
