Tread:
Periodically check tread depth.
1mm = Minimum depth.
Treadwear indicator:
Bumps located in the grooves of the tire.
Indicates how much tread left in the tire. When tire tread is level with the bump, then it is time to replace the tire.
Marker on the sidewall shows where the treadwear indicators are located.
If no treadwear indicators, use a tire tread gauge or ruler to measure the depth.
Rotation:
Rotate tires every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
At the same time do wheel balancing and alignment.
Additional effort and expense, however will prevent uneven tire wear and save money in the long run.
Pressure:
Check vehicle manufacturer recommendations.
Chart should be located on the pillar of the driver's door.
Check tire pressure whenever filling up with fuel.
Don't forget to also periodically check the spare tire pressure.
Always make sure that tire valve dust caps are returned, otherwise grit can get into the valve mechanism and cause leaking. Keep a few dust caps spare in the vehicle.
