Tip : Check Your Tire Pressure Regularly

Many people understand that the drag caused by underinflated tires lowers a vehicle's fuel efficiency. But proper inflation also prevents uneven tire wear and prolongs the life of your tires.

How long your tires last depends on many factors — including the tire brand, your car, your driving habits and the road surface, reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. You might need new tires every 10,000 miles or every 70,000 miles. It's time to replace those tires when the tread wears down to 2/32 of an inch, or when you can see your tires' built-in "wear bars."
