Investing in premium tires is essential, but maintaining them is just as crucial to ensure a safe, efficient, and enjoyable driving experience. At Lexus of Lakeridge, we're dedicated to helping you maximize the benefits of your tires through expert advice and comprehensive care services.

Key Tire Maintenance Practices

1. Importance of Proper Inflation

- Ensuring your tires are properly inflated is crucial for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Refer to your Lexus Owner's Manual or the vehicle's door pillar label for the recommended tire pressure settings.

2. The Benefits of Regular Rotation

- Regular tire rotation is essential to achieve uniform wear and extend tire life. This practice improves handling and maintains balanced vehicle performance. Check your Lexus Maintenance Schedule for the appropriate rotation intervals.

3. Monitoring Tread Wear

- Regular inspections can prevent premature tire replacement and ensure your safety, especially under challenging driving conditions. Here's what to look out for:

  - Tread Depth and Wear Bars: Replace tires when tread depth reaches 1.6mm for all-season and 4mm for winter tires or when wear bars become visible.

  - Causes of Uneven Wear: Issues such as improper inflation, alignment problems, or incorrect rotation can lead to uneven wear. Regular checks can identify and correct these issues early.

4. Correct Storage Techniques

- Proper storage extends tire life. Keep tires in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ozone-producing equipment.

5. Ensuring Proper Wheel Alignment

- A well-aligned vehicle enhances tire life, improves fuel efficiency, and optimizes handling.

  - Signs You Need an Alignment: Unusual steering behavior like pulling to one side, vibration in the steering wheel, or uneven tire wear are indicators that your vehicle may need an alignment check.

  - Benefits of Regular Alignment: Regular alignments enhance steering response, improve handling, and decrease suspension wear.
