Benefits of Proper Tire Maintenance

The agents of AFI Insurance are always available to help their customers in Denver, CO stays safe while they are on the roads. In addition to selling auto insurance, they can also offer recommendations about vehicle maintenance. These tips will allow you to get the most out of your car and reduce your risk of an accident, especially during the harsh Colorado winter.

Reduces Your Risk of an Accident

Proper tire care can reduce your risk of being involved in an accident. Maintaining proper tire pressure helps to keep the exact amount of tread on the road. This increases traction and helps to prevent skidding and sliding, especially on wet surfaces or gravel roads. It’s also important to monitor your tires’ tread. If you can insert a penny with Lincoln’s head down into your tread line and there is a gap between his head and your tread, you may want to look into getting new tires. Worn tread reduces traction.

Increases Fuel Efficiency

Properly inflated tires will help your car to get the gas mileage it’s supposed to. Each type of tire requires a specific amount of air pressure. While there is a tire pressure range that is optimal for each tire, letting your pressure get too low will mean uneven wear and tear on your tires. Cooler temperatures will lower the air pressure in your tires, so in order to get an accurate measurement, drive your car for a few tires so they can warm up a little.

Proper care and maintenance of your vehicle are essential if you want it to last. This is especially true of your tires. If you live in the Denver, CO area and would like to have a review performed on your existing policy or if you are simply looking for a new auto policy, call the agents of AFI Insurance today.
