Start and stop slowly, and take it easy on turns or pavement will wear off rubber. Keep off gravel and avoid all rough roads. Avoid bumping or scraping curbs.

3) Why Tires Heat Up when speeding over the road can be shown by stretching a rubber strip and quickly touching it to your lips. The strip will feel warm. Release it and it suddenly cool.

4) Rotate the Tires
Rotate tires at intervals specified in the car’s owner manual- whether it be your Chevy , Datsun or Toyota. Have wheels balanced with lead weights after each switch. If tire is taken off , put back the same wheel to drum relationship – or else rebalance the wheel
5 ) Inspect Tires Frequently
for glass or tacks embedded in the rubber of the tire. Stones and other objects may be embedded or wedged into the treads. Clean off any oil or grease promptl.
