Don’t Let Your Tires Deflate


Driving with deflated tires can be dangerous and it might damage the tire, potentially representing a hazard for you while driving. As a good rule of thumb, checking the tire pressure every 30 days should keep you safe. Also, while you are at it, it could be a good idea to check their wear and tear in case you need a rotation or replacement.
