PENSECOLA, FL, August 04, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tires are one of the most important aspects of driving safety. When a tire suddenly blows out, the result is often deadly. Jack Rabbit USA provides emergency roadside service and encourages drivers to properly maintain tires. It's helpful to be aware of the causes of premature or uneven tread wear.
There are numerous problems created when tires don't have the right level of air pressure. If your tires begin to squeal, it's a good indication your tires need to be checked.
Under-inflation of the tires creates a drag on your vehicle, which means you consume more gasoline during travel. Under-inflation also creates unnecessary stress on your tires, which affects durability. Having less than the recommended air pressure can also cause loss of control, a collision, and the need for roadside assistance.
Each tire on a vehicle supports a different amount of weight. Regular tire rotation will help the tires achieve more uniform wear. It's recommended to get tires rotated every 5,000 miles.
Tire alignment also affects tread wear. If a car pulls to one side or the other, that's typically a sign that an alignment is needed. What this procedure does is adjust the angles of the wheels so that all four are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.
Wheels can get out of alignment as a result of a big blow against a curb or pothole. Routine wheel alignment can help extend the life of tires.
Sometimes the manner in which someone drives can greatly affect tires. Sudden stops or starts at very high rates of speed on curves can impact tire wear.
If you're in doubt of the condition of your tires and prefer to avoid the need for emergency roadside service, do a simple test. Insert a penny between your tire treads, with Lincoln's image upside-down. If Lincoln's head is fully visible, that's a good indication that your tire treads are dangerously low and you could find yourself in need of roadside assistance. Get your tires replaced as soon as possible.
