4.1 Rengaspaineet

• Check tire pressure monthly, or before long trips, using an accurate tire pressure gauge.
• Maintain the pressure recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, not the maximum pressure on the tire sidewall.
• Under-inflation can lead to excessive heat buildup, premature wear, and reduced fuel efficiency. Over-inflation can lead to a harsher ride, reduced traction, and uneven wear.

4.2 Tire Rotation

Rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (8,000 to 12,000 km) or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Regular rotation helps promote even tread wear across all four tires.
