Myth #1: Rotation is unnecessary if my tires wear evenly.

Fact: Regular tire rotation (every 5,000-7,000 miles) is essential for even wear and tear. Each tire position experiences different stresses, and rotation distributes wear more uniformly, maximizing their lifespan.

Myth #2: I only need to check tire pressure when there’s a warning light.

Fact: Don’t wait for the warning light! Proper tire pressure is vital for optimal fuel efficiency, handling, and safety. Check your tire pressure regularly (including the spare) when cold, using a reliable gauge. Refer to your car’s owner’s manual for the recommended pressure.

Myth #3: Expired tires are only a concern for performance driving.

Fact: Even if the tread depth seems adequate, expired tires (typically over 6 years old) can degrade in terms of flexibility and traction, compromising safety. Check the manufacturing date on your tire sidewalls (four-digit code) and consider replacing them if they’re nearing expiration.
