Even with advanced safety features, amazing handling, and other amenities, your vehicle has everything riding on four pieces of rubber. These tires are the only components of your car that actually touch the road, making them the most vital component of your safety. That's why it's so important to make sure your tires are in pristine shape and last as long as possible. If you're unaware of how to take care of your tires, here are some tips to help you maintain them. Regular Tire Rotation Few vehicles are perfectly balanced, and each has a different proportion of weight from front to back, as well as different distributions on the axles and the left and right sides of the car. Because of this uneven weight and axle distribution, the front wheels can wear faster than the rear wheels or vice-versa. When the tires wear unevenly, it can pose a safety hazard as well as cause premature failure. To solve this problem, schedule a tire rotation every 6,000 to 8,000 miles or as directed in your owner's manual. This will ensure even wear and increase tire longevity. more Check the Tire Pressure Checking your tires' pressure can make a world of difference when it comes to lengthening their lives. When your tires are overinflated or underinflated, they wear much more quickly than when they have the proper inflation. Both overinflated and underinflated tires can blow at any moment, while underinflated tires can also cause excessive fuel bills due to increased road friction and a higher rolling resistance. To combat the problem, use a tire gauge to check your tires at least once a month to make sure they're inflated to the proper level. Newer model vehicles often have a tire pressure monitoring system, which is a good gauge of tire pressure, but nothing beats a thorough monthly pressure check. Go the Speed Limit Another huge contributor to early tire failure is going too fast. At higher speeds, your tires can suffer rapid air loss or a sudden blow-out, which poses a safety hazard and the need for new tires. In addition, the tires can get excessive heat build-up and have a greater chance for failure if impacted by a pothole or debris in the road. Whenever possible, go the speed limit, even if you're feeling the insatiable urge to put the pedal to the metal. Obey the Weight Capacity Even trucks and massive SUVs have a weight capacity that shouldn't be ignored. When you add excessive weight to the vehicle that goes above the weight limit, it can put pressure on the tires, causing an increase in friction. When this happens, the friction leads to excess heat that can cause the tire to burst, which ruins the tire and causes a sudden loss of control. Always check the manufacturer's posted weight limit before putting heavy objects in the cabin or bed. By implementing these four tire care tips, you can ensure that your vehicle's tires will last longer than ever, saving you money and ensuring that you're safe every time you get behind the wheel.

Test driving a vehicle gives you a better sense of what you're looking for in a new car and helps you compare models firsthand rather than rely solely on the Internet. If you want to know whether a certain model is a good fit for you, check out these four ways you can plan for a successful test drive. Take Your Time Spending at least 30 minutes behind the wheel is usually long enough to help you decide whether a car is a good match. During this time, you'll want to drive it over different types of surfaces (potholes, bumps, railroad tracks) to test the suspension and, if possible, test other factors such as the headlights, steering and handling, acceleration, braking, and engine noise. You should also inspect the outside for scratches, dents, and other damages that could have been made by previous test drivers. Taking your time can also help you figure out whether the features inside a car are user-friendly or outright confusing. By hurrying through the process, though, you might miss out on minor hiccups that could become frustrating later. more Test Drive More Than a Few Vehicles The more vehicles you test drive, the easier it will be to find a car that best suits your preferences. If you only sample one car or a few models, you could lose your chance to find something better. In fact, about 55 percent of shoppers only test drive one vehicle. However, you don't want to miss out on the right car by choosing the first one that impresses you. Sports cars, for example, look polished and refined, but smooth transitions over road dips and divots aren't always their forte. However, you might find a Jeep, truck, or SUV that's better suited to the task. If you often take road trips, you'll need a car with good fuel efficiency — definitely not a gas guzzler. Test driving different cars back-to-back will help you distinguish the good ones from the ones you don't want. Only Test Drive Cars You Can Afford Shopping for a car that sits outside of your budget is a big no-no. Not only are you wasting the salesperson's time, but also raising your standards to a level that's unreachable for your current salary. You might convince yourself it's just for fun, but test driving a car you can't afford will only leave you feeling unsatisfied with anything less. So, save yourself the trouble and stick to your budget. Create and Follow Your Checklist Does the car you're test driving come with the audio or infotainment system you want? Does it have a rear backup camera or certain safety systems you like? Is it spacious enough for you and your loved ones? Can you easily fit a car seat in it? Ask yourself these questions and see whether the car you're test driving lives up to the expectations you've set for your ideal vehicle. Do plenty of online research, look for vehicle reviews, and don't settle for something with which you're not going to be happy. Knowing exactly what to look for during your test drive can make the whole process ten times easier. Call ahead for an appointment and keep these tips in mind to find your ideal match.
