Spring in Florida means rising temperatures, increased humidity, and unpredictable rain showers. Here are some essential tire care tips to keep your vehicle safe and running smoothly:

Check Tire Pressure Regularly

Warmer temperatures can cause tire pressure to rise, leading to overinflation. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and adjust according to your vehicle’s recommended PSI.

Inspect Tread Depth

Spring showers can lead to slippery roads. Ensure your tread depth is at least 2/32 of an inch to maintain traction. Use the penny test: Insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head down—if you see his head, it's time for new tires.

Look for Cracks and Wear

Heat and humidity can speed up tire wear and cause cracking. Inspect sidewalls for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.

Rotate and Balance Tires

Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,500 miles to ensure even wear.Balancing your tires improves ride quality and extends tire life.

Check for Proper Wheel Alignment

Potholes from winter damage can throw off alignment, leading to uneven tire wear and poor handling. If your car pulls to one side or the steering wheel vibrates, get an alignment check.

Prepare for Rainy Weather

Wet roads increase the risk of hydroplaning. Ensure your tires have adequate tread and proper inflation. Slow down in heavy rain and avoid sudden braking to maintain control.

Don't Forget Your Spare

Check the pressure and condition of your spare tire in case of emergencies.
