Taking care of your tires isn’t just about avoiding a flat — it’s about keeping your car safe, fuel-efficient, and ready for Houston’s roads. Whether you’re commuting through I-10 traffic or cruising around Katy, good tire maintenance helps prevent roadside emergencies.
Here are the basic tire care tips every driver should follow.
Proper tire pressure improves fuel economy and helps your tires last longer.
Use a tire pressure gauge and match the PSI (pounds per square inch) listed in your car’s manual or door sticker. In Houston’s summer heat, pressure can rise — check when tires are cool.
Pro Tip: Low tire pressure is one of the most common causes of blowouts on Houston highways.
Tire tread helps grip the road, especially during heavy rain. A worn tread increases your risk of hydroplaning. Use a penny to check:
Insert Lincoln’s head into the tread
If you can see his full head, it’s time for new tires
Rotating your tires ensures even wear and extends their life. Most tire shops or oil change places will do this for free or at low cost.
Fun Fact: Uneven tire wear can lead to poor alignment and steering problems.
Check for:
Cracks or cuts on the sidewall
Bulging areas
Uneven wear patterns
These can indicate serious problems and may require immediate replacement.
If your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light comes on, it’s warning you that one or more tires may be under-inflated. Pull over safely and inspect all four tires. If you’re stranded, call AZ Mobile Tire Roadside Services — we’ll come to you.
