How to Check My Nissan's Tire Pressure
Checking your tire pressure at regular intervals is a quick and helpful way to ensure your car's tires are not over- or under-inflated. This is key to maximizing the life of your tires. Performing your tire pressure check also gives you a chance to inspect the condition of your tires. You will want to perform a visual inspection on your tire walls for cracks or check for foreign objects that may have become embedded in your tire.
How to Check My Tire Tread
As you prepare to hit the road, keeping an eye on your tire tread is another important part of making sure your tires are in great shape to grip the road properly. Some tires are designed with a tread depth indicator between the treads of your tire. If your tire tread is even with the tread depth indicator, it is time to consider replacing your tires. Another simple way to ensure your tires have an appropriate level of tread depth is to use the penny test.
