TIRE TIPS

  • Restore air pressure every few days, depending on the miles you drive.
  • If you don't have the vehicle manual, you can find the tire manufacturer's recommended tire pressure settings on the tire.
  • Measure air pressure when tires are cold, not after driving.
  • For long distances, increase air pressure when carrying heavy loads.
  • Under-pressure tires wear out faster.
  • Over-pressure tires reduce overall traction and uneven wear
  • Worn tires lose traction on wet roads.
  • Be aware: The first drops of rain make road surfaces slippery. Longer rains clean oil off roads, enabling tires to grip better.
  • Rotate tires according to the pattern described in the vehicle owner’s manual--do not blatantly cross-mount them.

According to a U.S. Department of Energy study, one out of every four vehicles on the road has at least one "significantly under inflated tire." In addition to the safety concerns, under inflation can also cost you two to three miles per gallon in fuel economy.


 TIRE AWARENESS: INCREASE COMPANY PROFIT

What is your business riding on? When your product or service must be delivered to the customer, TIRE AWARENESS can mean big bucks in delivery cost. Arm your drivers with proper tire knowledge to reduce accidents, prevent unexpected downtime, and save money.

According to Bridgestone/Firestone, tires lose 1 pound of air pressure or more every month. That may not sound like much at first, but over a few months it adds up to serious pressure loss.

Shu Ishibashi, executive vice president of Bridgestone/Firestone Inc., says, “The air pressure in your tires affects rolling resistance and fuel efficiency, tread wear and traction. Perhaps more importantly, it also affects heat buildup, which can lead to deterioration, premature wear and failure of a tire. Improper tire inflation is incredibly easy and simple to solve, but many of us just forget to check our tires regularly.

More tires are replaced due to low air pressure & the lack of tire rotation. Tires should be rotated at every 10,000 mileage interval or less.

Nitrogen

 “Nitrogen in tires is becoming a popular replacement for standard air. Nitrogen is all around us... the air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and the rest is small amounts of other gasses. When it comes to tire inflation, nitrogen has many advantages over oxygen. With nitrogen tire inflation, improvements can be noted in a vehicle's handling, fuel efficiency and tire life through better tire pressure retention, improved fuel economy and cooler running tire temperatures.”

-Get Nitrogen Institute 

“Some pretty heavy hitters in the retail tire industry are considering filling tires with nitrogen instead of compressed air.”

“Nitro-Nized tires maintain proper pressure up to three times longer because nitrogen diffuses through tire walls more slowly than air. This gives drivers several important safety and performance advantages:”
