5 Ways to Get More Mileage from Your Tires - Tips From Rubicon

Your tires are one of the most important investments you make for your vehicle. They keep you safe, affect fuel efficiency, and directly impact your driving comfort. Taking care of them not only saves you money but also ensures you get the longest life possible out of every set. At Rubicon Automotive Group, we’re all about helping drivers get the most value from their OEM recycled parts — and that includes your tires.

Here are five proven ways to get more mileage out of your tires:

1. Keep Them Properly Inflated

Underinflated or overinflated tires wear out faster and can reduce fuel efficiency. Check your tire pressure at least once a month (and always before a long trip). Use the manufacturer’s recommended PSI, usually found on the driver’s side door sticker.

2. Rotate Regularly

Front and rear tires wear at different rates, so rotating them every 5,000–7,000 miles helps even out the wear. Regular rotations extend tire life and improve overall handling.

3. Maintain Proper Alignment

Hitting potholes or curbs can knock your alignment out of spec, causing uneven tread wear. If you notice your vehicle pulling to one side or your steering wheel vibrating, it’s time for an alignment check.

4. Balance Your Tires

Unbalanced tires cause uneven wear and can shorten their lifespan. Balancing ensures the weight of the tire and wheel is evenly distributed, which improves ride quality and extends tire life.

5. Drive Smarter

Quick starts, hard braking, and sharp turns all put extra stress on your tires. Smooth, steady driving not only makes your ride more comfortable but also helps your tires last longer.

Final Thoughts

With the right care, your tires can last significantly longer — saving you money and keeping your vehicle performing its best. At Rubicon Automotive Group, we’re committed to keeping drivers on the road with quality parts and expert advice.
