Tire Care Recommendations

From Tire Retailer Costco:

• Have the air pressure in your tires checked, by a tire professional as least once a month. Serious injury may result from tire failure due to under inflation.

• Always request that the air pressure in your tires be set to the tire or vehicle manufacturers' specifications.

• Do not overload your vehicle. Serious injury may result from overloading your vehicle.

• Register your tires using the DOT (Department of Transportation) card provided at the time of installation.

• Read and follow all tire maintenance requirements outlined in the tire manufacturers' warranty booklet provided at the time of installation.

• Always insist on an RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) approved two-piece tire repair if required.

• Fix-a-flat products should be avoided if possible. These products can make a tire non-repairable.

• If you are purchasing less than four tires, mount the new tires on the rear of the vehicle.

• It is recommended to have your lug nuts re-tightened 40 km after your tires are serviced or replaced.

• Request that your tire and rim assemblies are hand torqued with a calibrated torque wrench to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
