Tire Safety Tips and Tricks

Why Tire Safety Matters

As a responsible driver, it's crucial to prioritize tire safety. Tires are the only contact between your vehicle and the road, making them a critical component of overall vehicle safety. Unfortunately, many drivers neglect their tires until it's too late, leading to accidents and even fatalities. At McCord Tire, we're committed to educating our customers on the importance of regular tire maintenance and inspections.

Regular tire checks can help identify potential issues before they become major problems. By staying proactive, you'll not only ensure your safety but also extend the life of your tires.

How to Check Your Tires

Before you hit the road, make sure to inspect your tires for any signs of wear or damage. Start by checking the tread depth using a penny. Insert the penny into the tire groove with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see the top of his head, it's time to replace your tires. Next, look for cracks in the sidewall and any uneven wear patterns.

Remember, proper tire inflation is crucial for both safety and fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires can lead to reduced traction, increased stopping distance, and even blowouts. Always check your tire pressure at least once a month.
