Maximize Tire Mileage: Frequent rotation and proper pressure optimize tread wear on modern tires

摘要

Want maximum mileage from the tires on your truck, car or SUV? Keep the tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommended air pressure and rotate them in an X pattern when you change engine oil and filter every 3,000 miles. Mike Smith, a retired engineer formerly with a major tire manufacturer, says rigid adherence to recommended tire pressure and rotating his tires every time he changes the engine oil earns him tread wear on his vehicles that exceeds 60,000 miles.
