We all can’t help but feel a little dread in our stomach when we notice that our check engine light has appeared on our dashboard. We quickly put it out of our minds, especially when we have a busy day ahead of us.

It is easy to forget about your vehicle's tires, but they play an essential role in your safety. Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that directly touches the road and can affect your vehicle's handling, braking, and overall ride and safety. The Auto Experts team is here to remind you to take time to take care of your tires.  Your tires need to have the proper tire pressure, tread depth, balance, and wheel alignment for optimal performance and safety. To preserve your tires' longevity and improve fuel economy, your tires need to be properly inflated. It is also important to rotate your tires. Front and back tires perform different steering and braking functions, which means they will wear out at varying paces and patterns. If you want to get the most out of your tires, tire rotation is critical. Typically, we will perform rotation every 5,000 and 7,000 miles.  Proper tire maintenance also involves tire balancing. Tire balancing ensures your tires wear o ... read more
