**Tire Rotation**
Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,500 miles (or whenever you change your oil) to ensure even wear and extend their life. This simple step keeps your vehicle handling smoothly and safely.

**When to Replace**
- **Tread depth** - When tread wears to 2/32 of an inch (penny test: insert a penny into the tread; if you see Lincoln's head, it's time)
- **Cracks or bulges** - Visible damage means replacement is necessary
- **Age** - Tires older than 10 years should be replaced regardless of tread
- **Uneven wear** - May signal alignment issues; ask our technician

**Seasonal Considerations**
Consider winter tires in harsh climates for better traction and safety. Our team can advise on seasonal changes.

**Tire Pressure**
Check pressure monthly and before long trips. Proper pressure improves fuel economy and tire life. Your vehicle's door jamb has the recommended PSI.
