hey guys could your car tires be
0:02
draining your wallet without you even
0:03
knowing it from Silent wear to
0:06
unexpected blowouts simple Tire mistakes
0:08
could cost you big maybe even more than
0:11
the price of new tires stick around
0:13
because today I'm uncovering the most
0:15
common Tire blunders and how to avoid
0:17
them all right let's Jump Right In
0:19
mistake number one driving on
0:21
underinflated tires did you know that
0:23
even a slight drop in tire pressure can
0:25
lead to higher fuel consumption and
0:27
faster wear it's like making your engine
0:28
work over time for no reason trust me I
0:31
learned this the hard way after
0:32
neglecting my tire pressure for weeks
0:35
only to end up replacing two tires way
0:37
earlier than I should have cut to a
0:39
quick visual of a tire pressure gauge in
0:41
action with text overlay check monthly
0:43
next up rotating your tires or rather
0:46
not rotating them if you skip this step
0:48
your front and rear tires will wear
0:50
unevenly and you'll be stuck replacing
0:52
them one by one instead of all at once
0:55
think of it like wearing the same shoes
0:56
every day without switching sooner or
0:58
later they're going to fall part so what
1:01
can you do to avoid these costly
1:02
mistakes First grab yourself a good tire
1:05
pressure gauge it's a $10 tool that can
1:07
save you hundreds check your tire
1:09
pressure at least once a month or every
1:11
couple of weeks if the weather is
1:12
Shifting cold weather in particular can
1:15
cause your tire pressure to drop
1:16
suddenly another tip stick to the
1:19
rotation schedule in your car's manual
1:21
if you're not sure when to do it A good
1:23
rule of thumb is every 5,000 to 7,500
1:26
miles I used to forget all the time so
1:28
now I set reminders on my phone problem
1:30
solved oh and here's a big one don't
1:32
skip on Tire quality I know it's
1:34
tempting to go for the cheapest option
1:36
but poor quality tires can lead to
1:38
longer breaking distances and reduced
1:39
traction it's like trying to run a
1:41
marathon and flipflops just not worth
1:43
the risk here's something most people
1:46
don't realize even brand new tires can
1:48
be dangerous if they're old tires have a
1:50
shelf life even if they've never been
1:52
used check the dot code on the sidewall
1:55
it tells you the week and year the tire
1:57
was made anything older than six years
1:59
you're better off passing closeup of a
2:02
do code with a narrator explaining how
2:04
to read it so what's the takeaway your
2:06
tires are the only part of your car that
2:08
actually touches the road treat them
2:10
well and they'll take care of you and
2:12
your wallet take a few minutes this week
