Replacing your cars tyres can be a costly business, so preserving your tyres is always a good idea. Careful driving is a good place to start and will help with fuel economy and the general condition of the vehicle as well. Hard braking and acceleration and fast speeds while cornering will all increase the rate of wear of the tyres, so bear this in mind.
Uneven wear of the tyre may force you to change tyres sooner than you’d like, so check the tyres regularly. Under and over inflation will both cause uneven and increased wear on tyres so follow the manufacturers recommended tyre pressure. Wear on only one side of the tyre could indicate a problem with the wheels alignment.
Rotation of your cars tyres is a good way to avoid uneven wear and get the most life out of them. Tyre rotation should be done approximately every 6,000 miles. Tyres are rotated differently depending on how the wheels are driven.
