I recently purchased a Nissan Patrol and I want to make sure I am properly taking care of the tires. How often should I check the tire pressure and what is the recommended tread depth for safety? Any other tips for maintaining the tires on my Patrol?
ReplyAs a general rule, it is recommended to check your tire pressure at least once a month. However, it is always a good idea to check them more frequently, especially before and after long trips. As for the tread depth, the minimum requirement for safety is 2/32 inches, but it is recommended to replace your tires at 4/32 inches for optimal performance. Additionally, rotating your tires every 5,000-8,000 miles can help promote even wear and extend the life of your tires.
In addition to checking your tire pressure and tread depth, it is important to keep an eye out for any signs of uneven wear or damage. If you notice any abnormalities, it may be a sign of an alignment issue or other underlying problem that should be addressed. It is also a good idea to have your tires balanced and aligned every 6,000 miles to ensure they are wearing evenly. Lastly, don't forget to regularly inspect your spare tire and make sure it is properly inflated and in good condition.
