Tips To Maximise Tyre Life
- Check your tyre pressure every 3,000 mi./4,500 km to keep your vehicle driving smoothly and evenly, therefore using gas more efficiently. NOTE: Tyres should be inflated when cool to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations printed on the vehicle door placard or in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. NEVER inflate beyond the maximum limit stamped on a tyre sidewall.
- Rotate your tyres every 6,000 – 8,000 mi./ 10,000 – 13,000 km to help equalize tread wear.
- Get your wheel alignment checked as specified in your vehicle’s owner’s manual, or as soon as you can feel the wheel “pull.”
- Visually check your tyres for irregularities in tread wear as these could indicate problems with alignment or inflation.

- Improper tyre pressure can lead to a multitude of problems – from uneven and accelerated tyre wear to structural damage, and even poor gas mileage. Keeping your tyres properly inflated can improve gas mileage and save you money at the pump.
- Goodyear recommends checking tyre inflation monthly, or before a long trip. Tyres should be inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations printed on the vehicle door placard, or in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
- Proper vehicle and tyre maintenance is a good investment because it translates into optimum driving performance, significant cost savings, and better fuel mileage.
