Tires - How Sustain Them


This is another way to finding out whether or not spare tire replacement is necessary. It should be used in tandem with other procedures because it does not account for many other things like lifespan, type of tire, frequency of use etc.

Check your stems for dry rot. Bad stems are common causes of flat tires, but are simple to fix. It takes a tire shop about ten minutes to fix and will cost you less than five dollars each. The hassle of having to change your tire because of a bad stem, however, is much more costly. When checking tire pressure, it is a good idea to check out your stems as well. If one needs replacing, it is likely that the others will soon need replacing as well (if you bought all your tires at the same time).

Cooling fan and heater core - a cooling fan sounds like something important, and it is. But the heater core is just as important for your cooling system (sounds funny?). That's because the heater core keeps your coolant from leaking out all over the place. You don't want a busted heater core.

Get enough sleep - this seems obvious, but we have bad habit of packing too much into our trips such that we're driving 14 hours at a time. You're supposed to enjoy a road trip. Get your rest.
