Tire Maintenance

Stay safe by taking care of your tires

Poor tire maintenance—not having enough air in your tires and failing to rotate your tires, among other maintenance requirements—can lead to a flat tire, blowout, or the tread coming off your tire.

Save money by taking care of your tires

Properly inflating your tires can save you as much as 11 cents per gallon on fuel. Yet only 19 percent of consumers properly inflate their tires. That means four out of five consumers are wasting money because of underinflated tires!

Additional proper tire maintenance, such as rotation, balance and alignment, can help your tires last longer, which will in turn save you money. In fact, properly inflated tires can extend the average life of a tire by 4,700 miles.

Preventive Car Maintenance Pays Off

A trained, qualified mechanic with the expertise and equipment to do the job correctly should perform most of the maintenance on your car. You also should pay attention to what’s going on under the hood. The owner’s manual for your car will provide you with a maintenance schedule for your specific make and model.

Your Vehicle’s Accessory Belt

All vehicles have an accessory belt that drives features such as the alternator and air-conditioning compressor, and perhaps the power steering and water pump. This belt is usually mounted externally so you can see it on the front end of the engine (the engine is mounted transversely on most front-wheel-drive vehicles), and it usually is a serpentine belt that slithers around various pulleys. It needs to be replaced when it shows wear, such as cracks, fraying or stretching.

Volvo XC90

Volvo XC90The most opulent version of the Swedish automaker’s new flagship crossover, the Volvo XC90 Exclusive does away with its seven-seat configuration and replaces it with four: The two seats up front as per usual, but instead of the two back rows, it has two first-class recliners. The commodious rear seats include massage and ventilation functions, tray tables that fold into the center console, retractable touchscreen displays, an onboard refrigerator, temperature-controlling cup holders. There’s even a set of crystal glasses made by Orrefors, and because the third row is gone, those rear seats feature more legroom, too.
