Use a Tire Gauge for your Used Tires !

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

It’s a fairly simple process; let’s do it together (: 

1. Take the cap off from the tire valve.

2. Don’t get confused because the Tire Gauge has two ends; one end to place in the valve & the other end to read the measurement. 

3. On the end that’s supposed to go in the valve, be sure that that you quickly & securely create a tight seal. The measurement stick should shoot out after this. 

4. Inspect the Tire Gauge & check how much pressure you have in your 18″ Used Tires . The number on the far right is the amount of pressure that you have in your tire. 

5. Make sure to do it a couple of times to be sure that you get the precise reading. If you don’t get a quick seal on the valve, it will not read correctly. Keep on testing the pressure until you get the same number about 2 or 3 times.

Be sure to check it every so often to avoid major problems with your Used Tires in the future. 

Easy, right?

Tread Safety Facts for New & Used Tires

Monday, April 26th, 2010

A lot of people overlook the way their tires look & usually say “It’s no big deal”; but it is. 

1. When your tire is worn out, it usually produces more of a heat build-up; which eventually leads to your tire literally failing on you when you’re driving.
2. The more tread you have on your tire, the more immune it is to a puncture. 
3. The less tread you have on your tire, the more likely you are to hydroplane when it rains. 
4. If your balance & alignment is off, that can also wear out tire tread. 
5. When your tires don’t have a lot of tread left, your lovely little tires are more likely to be seriously under-inflated; which means it can have a major impact on steering, braking, & even the mileage you get with your gas.
6. Make sure you know if you have 18″ Used Tires or whichever size you have so you know how much tread is supposed to be on it. 

Hopefully this helps,
