By Uniroyal - You should check each tire’s air pressure (including your spare) at least once each month and always before a long trip.  Always check when they’re “cold” (that is, at least three hours after the vehicle has been stopped, or before it has been driven one mile).  You can find the correct air pressure in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.

Load-carrying limits molded into the tire’s sidewall should never be exceeded.  Consult a trained tire professional to verify limits for the tire that you’ve chosen.

If for some reason you cannot safely avoid a road hazard and you run over glass, rocks, curbs, or other foreign material, check the tire for external damage.  If you suspect damage but can’t see it, have the tire demounted and checked for internal damage.

If you get stuck in mud or snow, don’t spin your tires to get out.  Spinning, even for a few seconds, can build up heat and damage your tires.

Properly balanced tires and wheels turn with all their weight distributed equally.  Unbalanced tires can result in a vehicle’s “shimmying” (shaking from side to side) and “tramping” (hopping up and down).

Cleaning tires removes foreign substances that can degrade the tires from the tire surface.  We recommend soap and water.  Avoid using products with petro-chemicals.

If any tire sustains a puncture, have the tire inspected internally by any Uniroyal tire retailer for possible change that may have occurred.  A punctured tire should be removed from the wheel and inspected for damage prior to being repaired.

Check your tires at least once a month for uneven wear and foreign objects wedged in the tread.  A tire that continually needs more air should be taken off the vehicle and the wheel and checked thoroughly.
