How to Protect Your Tires from Wear and Tear?

 

The tires on your vehicle take the most abuse every time you take them out onto the road. You are likely to need to replace them from time to time. However, proper driving habits can help you minimize how frequently this is. If you fail to maintain your tires, you could be in an accident. To avoid having to file an auto insurance claim for such an incident, consider these tips for minimizing wear and tear on your tires.

Choose the Right Tires

Your car’s manufacturer usually provides specific information about the size and type of tire right for the vehicle. Be sure to buy exactly what the manufacturer recommends. This may help to minimize the amount of damage to the frame of the car and your alignment. In other words, you will put less strain on other parts of the vehicle.

Have the Tires Rotated

In all situations, tire rotation is critical. No car drives evenly on all sides all the time. You may make more left turns, for example, than right. Uneven road surfaces also cause uneven wear on the tire. By rotating them, the tires wear down more evenly. This helps extend their life but also can help minimize the risk of blowouts. Your car insurance may offer some protection from this type of accident. However, it is best to have the dealership or mechanic rotate the tires every other time you change the oil. You might avoid an accident altogether.

Check Your Tires Routinely

Most manufacturers recommend checking your tires at least one time a week. You do so to ensure they are in good condition. If you notice stones, nails or other items embedded in them, have these items removed. Your mechanic can help with this. Also look for any damage to the rim. A small bend here can throw off the alignment significantly.

Try to Drive Safely

This seems like a simple statement, but it can help minimize accidents. Avoid curbs and potholes. Ensure your vehicle has proper alignment, especially if you drive on uneven surfaces. This is also something your mechanic can help you with. Drive the speed limit, too. If you notice changes in the way the vehicle feels or drives, such as pulling to one side, get in it for an inspection.

Keep in mind auto insurance does not pay to simply replace tires. It is a normal type of wear and tear on a vehicle. Tires damaged by accidents might have coverage, however. Still, your insurance company may deny some car insurance claims as well if caused by tire wear and tear.
