These are some of the tire maintenance tasks that can help you make your tires last:
Air Pressure Check
Ask a local tire shop expert and you will find out the importance of monthly inspection of air pressure. It is an essential tire maintenance component. Ideally, you can use a reliable tire pressure gauge to keep an eye on air pressure and drive the vehicle safely.
Remember, the recommended air pressure for your car or truck is usually on a sticker or mounted on the side door of the car or in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. If your car comes with TPMS, you should make sure the local tire shop has all the equipment, experience, and training needed to service your car.
Tire Rotation
Regularly rotating your tires is a vital aspect of tire maintenance since it helps your tires wear evenly. Our tire technicians can determine the rotation pattern that’s right for your type of vehicle and tires. We follow tire manufacturers’ recommendations for how often your tires should be rotated, but it’s generally every 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
At your local Ramona tire shop, we will also inspect the overall condition of your tires during rotation. Our experts can spot and correct any issues that should be addressed before they become expensive problems.
Tread Depth
It’s the tire tread of your vehicle that allows you to maintain control on the road. With worn-down tread, your car won’t have a solid road grip. You can use the standard “quarter test” to test the tread depth of your tires.
You just need to spot the tire area that has the lowest tread and insert a quarter into it. Make sure to put the quarter in head-first. If you can see the head of George Washington, it means the tire tread is below or at 3/32” and needs replacement.

How Often You Should Check Your Tires
Regularly inspecting your tires can go a long way toward saving on expensive tire repairs down the road. On average, you should conduct tire inspections every month. If you frequently drive over debris and potholes, cover long distances, or drive in harsh weather conditions, opt for more frequent tire inspections.
