How To Check Tires

Tire pressures should be checked often. At least at every oil change. Be sure to inflate tires to the specification on the sticker on the inside of the drivers door.

Tires should be checked for abnormal wear patterns periodically. Just rub your hand around the tire and feel for roughness, flat spots, or feathering.
