Check Tire Condition and Air Pressure.
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Check Tire Condition and Air Pressure. The proper tire pressure and tread is important for your safety and can help safe on gas mileage.
TREAD SHOULD COVER TOP OF GEORGES HEAD. Tire Tread Depth can be measured by using a quarter. Insert a quarter in between the treads or grooves of your tire. You should not be able to see the top of George’s head. If you can, it is time to look into getting new tires.
Check your air pressure with a tire gauge. Most vehicles have a sticker on the driver’s side door near the latch that lists the proper tire size and tire pressure.
Make sure that the Valve Stem (where you put the air in) does not have any cracks.
