🛞MAINTAIN YOUR TIRES🛞

The heavy loads, longer distances and hot temperatures of summer trips can adversely affect your car’s tires. Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can check to make sure you roll up to your fun-in-the-sun destination safely.

🛞Examine your tires for any visible signs of damage. Damage can include cracks or bald spots, worn treads, punctures or bubbles.

🛞Check and inflate your tires. Use a tire gauge to check your tire pressure every month and before long trips or when carrying extra loads. Find your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for tire pressure on a label affixed to the driver’s side door or in your vehicle owner’s manual.

🛞Check the inflation pressure and condition of your spare tire. Ensure that your car’s donut tire or full-sized spare will keep you on the road after a flat.

(Tip: Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are “cold,” which means your car hasn’t been driven for three hours or less than a mile at moderate speed).

4 Tire Tread Parts

1. Tread blocks

What are tread blocks? These are the raised parts of the tire that make contact with the road. The block provides traction.

2. Tire ribs

Tire ribs are the raised section of the surface of the tire, a collection of tread blocks. What do tire ribs do? Well, think about the job of a tire: A vehicle tire must ...

grip whatever surface it's driving on
prevent a vehicle from sliding on water, ice, or snow
stop when the driver brakes
resist hydroplaning
improve fuel efficiency .. all while providing a smooth and quiet ride
This is the job of the tire tread, and the rib plays a significant role in vehicle stability.

3. Tire grooves

Tire grooves are the deep channels between the ribs and tread blocks. They have an important job, especially in rain, snow, ice, slush, and mud. The grooves are designed to push those elements away from the car so the tires grip the road better. So, the next time you're a pedestrian and you get splashed by a car? That's the grooves at work.

4. Tire sipes

Sipes are thin "cuts" that are molded into the blocks. Unlike grooves, which run the circumference of the tire, sipes are smaller and thinner grooves that provide more flexibility in tires. You want sipes in on- and off-road tires, loose dirt and gravel and, of course, ice and snow.
