Your tires are the only part of the car that has direct contact with the road. Tires affect your vehicle handling, ride, braking, and safety. For optimum performance, tires must have the correct air pressure, tread depth, balance and the wheels of the vehicle must be properly aligned.

Checking your tires on a regular basis is an important step in protecting your safety and your automotive investment. Ideally, tire inspections should be performed monthly. If you drive over potholes and debris in the road, live in a cold climate, or drive long distances regularly, then you should inspect your tires more often.

Always inspect your tires before a long trip. The more often these inspections are performed, the easier it will be to find a small problem, such as a nail in your tire, and fix it before it becomes a more expensive and time-consuming issue.

Some steps to properly maintain your car tires

Step 1: Check air pressure Check the air pressure on all four tires and fill each as needed.

This should be done properly with a proper tire pressure gauge and i will highly recommend you get the DIGITAL TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE you can learn how to get one here https://www.facebook.com/#/pages/Car-Gadgets-On-Konga/1465865370389422?ref=bookmarks

Step 2: Repeat on other tires Now do the same on all the other tires.

Step 3: Check the recommended PSI of your car, this can be found on the VIN beside the driver door

Step 4: inflate or deflate the tire to the recommended PSI

Step 5:Check overall condition Now check your tires’ overall condition. Look each one over carefully. The sidewalls should be flat and smooth. If you see bubbles, knots, or cracks, have a professional take a look.

Step 6: Test wheel alignment Test your wheel alignment by driving in a straight line and allowing your hands to come just slightly off the wheel. If the car starts pulling to one side, take it to a professional to have it assessed.

i don't want to bore you with too much but with this few steps am sure you will properly maintain your car tire.
