- Good Year's Tire Buying Guide says you should check the treads on your tires regularly to see if you need new tires. It's usually good to check every 3,000 miles. Check the tires by placing a penny into the tire's treads. Turn it upside down so that Lincoln's head is against the tire. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, then your treads have been worn down too far, and you need new tires.
- As tires are expensive and can be dangerous in the event of a blowout, it is important to know how to maintain them so that they last for as long as possible. Good Year recommends rotating your tires every 6-8,000 miles so that the tread wear is equalized. Tire pressure, if your car doesn't do it automatically, should be checked monthly, as the EPA states that properly inflated tires are safer and more fuel efficient. Taking time to care for your tires will keep you safer and save you money in the long run.
- TripleTred technology has been created exclusively by GoodYear to help drivers who need tires for all types of weather conditions, with an ice zone for gripping power on winter roads, Aquachutes to move water out from under the tire in wet conditions and a dry zone for normal conditions. SilentArmor Technology Tires are another exclusive GoodYear technology for SUV and light truck drivers. Featuring a layer of Kevlar inside, these tires are difficult to puncture on rough roads and construction sites yet also have a super absorbent layer that helps cushion the ride.
