ALL POINTS BULLETIN KILLERS ON THE LOSE !!!!

Hello everyone, lets start with a simple but true fact about vehicle tires.  The two #1 KILLERS OF TIRES.

1. AIR PRESSURE !!!  Inside of the drivers or Right Rear Passenger door you will find a plackard with your tire size and recommended air pressure, for both front and rear tires. This is usually 32 pounds pressure (PSI) front  33 psi rear, but I have seen it as high as 44 psi. Use these settings, they are designed to give you that comfortable ride that you liked when you bought the car, and will extend the life of your tires.  Remember a tire that is rated for 70 thousand miles will only last for about 25 to 30 thousand miles if you do not keep a uniform air pressure in all your tires. We will get into more on air pressure later.

2.  ROTATION !!!  YOU MUST ROTATE YOUR TIRES EVERY 5 THOUSAND MILES.  not rotating your tires will cause them to start CUPPING out on the shoulders, give you a rough ride and cause tire failure in about 15 thousand miles or so.  Steel Belted Raidial Tires were constructed with Yep Steel Belts across the tread face interlaced, unlike the old Nylon tires a steel belted tire will start to wear faster and shorten it's life cycle in half if not rotated regularly. A GOOD KEY TO REMEMBER TO ROTATE YOUR TIRES IS EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE. We will get into more on rotation later.
