We often ignore our tires unless they're flat. But they play a
vital role in the overall condition of your car. Maintain them
properly, and you'll save money on repairs and on fuel costs. 织梦内容管理系统
Keeping your tires properly inflated ensures that they wear
longer and can prevent accidents. Your car likely has a card or
sticker attached to the door edge or the inside of the glove box
door. The right amount of air your tires need is specified here.
In case your car doesn't have this sticker, you can check your
owner's manual. dedecms.com
Serious accidents can happen if your tires are under-inflated or
overloaded. One of my tires blew-out on me and caused an
accident. Luckily I was on a little traveled country road and
was going slowly. I hate to think of what might have happened if
I had been in major traffic. copyright dedecms
Buy your own quality tire gauge. You can't tell if tires are
inflated properly just by looking. And the air meters at your
service station may not be correct! 内容来自dedecms
Ask your auto supply dealer for a tire gauge calibrated up to 80
PSI. They'll know what you mean, even if you don't. 织梦好，好织梦
Take a moment at the beginning of each month to check your tire
pressure (don't forget the spare! Uhm, you do have a spare tire,
don't you??) Check them before you get in the car to drive.
Write down the actual under-inflation amount for each tire. Take
this info with you to the service station. 织梦好，好织梦
Now measure the inflation again and record these numbers. (Don't
worry, this only takes a couple minutes.) Now inflate the tires
to a level that equals the warm pressure (that you just took)
plus the first under-inflation amount. (called the "cold"
inflation pressure) 内容来自dedecms
If the above instructions sound intimidating or confusing, take
your car to a shop and give them the "cold" pressure numbers.
They'll put the correct amount of air in your tires for a
minimum fee - sometimes they'll not charge you at all. 内容来自dedecms
The leading cause of tire failure is under-inflation. So make a
habit to check them once a month. 本文来自织梦
Overloading your vehicle can lead to tire failure, too. Just
because you have a pick-up truck doesn't mean it can carry an
infinite load. dedecms.com
Schedule a tire check into your calendar each month and you'll
save money, save fuel, and perhaps, even save your family from a
car accident 织梦内容管理系统
