A vehicle’s tires play an important role in the safety of your vehicle. A recent survey of about 5,500 vehicles found that only nine percent of vehicles had four properly inflated tires and 49 percent of vehicles had at least one under inflated tire.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that more than 600 deaths and 33,000 injuries per year are due to under inflated tires. Improperly inflated tires also lowers the fuel efficiency of your vehicle.

Here are some tips to help your keep your tires running smoothly and safely.

Now at Tire Pros, from March 1, 2010 to April 10, 201o, get a free TomTom GPS with purchase of any 4 Continental tires. It’s the Continental Go Anywhere promotion, now available at our local Tire Pros.

In order to have traction in the rain, tires need to be able to channel the water away; that’s why there are grooves in the tread. Rain tires, such as the Michelin HydroEdge, have one or two large grooves running around the tire for that purpose. By channeling the water away, the tread can make contact with the road (this is good, as it allows steering and braking). In contrast, a well-worn tire doesn’t have deep enough grooves to do this, and so can ride up on the water. This is called aquaplaning or hydroplaning (not good as you won’t be able to steer or brake).

In short, it’s not worth the risk by driving around on worn-out tires. Sure, you may not notice it if you mostly drive on dry roads, but when the rain comes and you’re sliding all over the place, you’re gonna wish you replaced those hoops.

Checking your alignment regularly is always a good idea. You’ll ensure your tires will last the full life for which they were intended. Ask your local Tire Pros for an alignment inspection today. Find your local Tire Pros here at Tire Pros Dealer Locator

Tire inflation pressure is the level of air in the tire that provides it with load-carrying capacity and affects the overall performance of the vehicle. The tire inflation pressure is a number that indicates the amount of air pressure– measured in pounds per square inch (psi)–a tire requires to be properly inflated.

Manufacturers of passenger vehicles and light trucks determine this number based on the vehicle’s design load limit, that is, the greatest amount of weight a vehicle can safely carry and the vehicle’s tire size.The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is referred to as the “recommended cold inflation pressure.” (As you will read below, it is difficult to obtain the recommended tire pressure if your tires are not cold.)

Because tires are designed to be used on more than one type of vehicle, tire manufacturers list the “maximum permissible inflation pressure” on the tire sidewall. This number is the greatest amount of air pressure that should ever be put in the tire under normal driving conditions.

CHECKING FOR PRESSURE
It is important to check your vehicle’s tire pressure at least once a month for the following reasons:
- Most tires may naturally lose air over time.
- Tires can lose air suddenly if you drive over a pothole or other object or if you strike the curb when parking.
- With radial tires, it is usually not possible to determine underinflation by visual inspection.

For convenience, purchase a tire pressure gauge to keep in your vehicle. And as always, if you have any tire related questions please visit your local Tire Pros. Click here (http://www.tirepros.com/dealers.php) to fine a Tire Pros near you.
