Where rubber meets with Fort Wayne road is an all-important aspect to safe driving. There's more than enough that rests on your Volvo S60 sedan's four tires.
Having stated the obvious, all attentive Volvo owners should be especially mindful of tire health. This seemingly minor exercise will go a long way toward ensuring your safety as driver and those occupants you're spiriting around New Haven.
As well, steering and wheel alignment have some say in what your tires are going through on a daily basis near Columbia City. Tires will always bear the brunt of rough shod roads and debris.
Your Volvo XC60 Tires - the Most Important Part of All
It's a given your tires may be overlooked when it comes to other systems and parts working well together in your Volvo XC40. Though, tire vitality is a common thread to a Volvo sedan's safe operation.
A good habit to undertake is a weekly check of your Volvo's tires by simply walking around your Volvo wagon. Here's what to look for:
- While bending or kneeling at each tire, check for tread channel depth by using your fingertip. If there's not much for your finger to sink into, the tread is effectively bare.
- While checking tire treads, examine the sidewalls for any wear or signs of rubbing. And where the sidewall meets with the tread around the tire circumference, look for creasing or cracking. This a most telling sign of weathering.
- Also, make a cursory check of any items lodged in the tread. Should there be something stuck, don't try to remove it yourself. Tom Kelley Volvo Cars' tire technicians will take care in extracting it and patching the puncture as necessary.
- And always keep your tires properly inflated. Gas mileage can be affected as will alignment. Blow-outs could also happen with tires low in pressure.
