When you are driving around in your car, four things greatly impact your safety, your tires. And, unless you are lucky enough to live in the tropics, it's pretty likely that the seasons change where you're driving, bringing with them a shift in driving conditions. By purchasing a good set of all season tires you can avoid accidents and even save your own life! Good deason tires in good condition will help with your purse, so it is of utmost importance that you acquire a set and maintain them properly.
To maintain your tires properly, you need to do more than simply replace them as their treads begin to wear down. Tire maintenance requires more than this of you, but nothing that is too strenuous once you understand what needs to be done. Rotate them often, as this helps the wear to be even and ensure proper tire traction with th road. You should also drive properly to avoid damage to your tires. This means slow on dirt or gravel roads, do not run into curbs and be easy on turns. Quick turns and skidding all wears the tire out very quickly.
It is also necessary that you take your car into the shop for tire related maintenance. I can commiserate with care enthusiasts who would love to do everything themselves, including changing the tire themselves. Before getting started as a mechanic, I was just such an automobile do-it-yourselfer, and never went to a garage for anything that I didn't think was completely necessary.
You should not attempt to install the tire yourself. It requires an expert to change the tires properly. This is mainly due to the precision adjustments that are involved. The tires must be installed securely. This means that they are balanced properly, which you cannot ensure this without having specialized equipment.
Also, your tires will wear unevenly and have a much shorter lifespan, because more wear will be concentrated on less area. In then end, it is cheaper to get the professional to install it for you.
