Tire Care Tips

At Ken Hill's Commercial Tire, we want our customers in Walterboro, SC, Santee, SC, Hardeeville, SC, and surrounding areas to remain on top of tire performance. When it comes to commercial tires and fleet tire management, maintenance can help extend tire longevity and ensure you're getting the best value from your purchase. 

Your tires contribute to performance. Checking tire pressure, rotating your tires, balancing your tires, and choosing the right set of replacement tires based on safety and handling will all contribute to consistent performance.

Use the following tips to help you stay on top of tire maintenance:

• Check tire pressure to ensure proper inflation. Underinflation can lead to excess heat, uneven tire wear, and decreased braking and handling capabilities, which may cause structural failures like blowouts and tread separation. Properly inflated tires will maximize tread life, improve handling, and increase fuel efficiency and overall driver safety.
• Balance tires as necessary. Out-of-balance tires may be detected in bumps that become more noticeable at higher speeds. Balancing tires is necessary during initial installation and during a remount.
• Be mindful of abnormal tire wear or damage to your tires. Watch for signs of punctures, embedded objects, cracks, and bulges.

Take these tips into consideration when servicing your tires. Other mechanical issues may contribute to uneven tire wear, and need correction in order to maximize tire life and fleet performance.

By taking proper care of your tires, your company can experience the benefits of better fuel economy and extend tire life, which will positively impact the environment.
