Are you a new car owner, unsure what you need to know about maintenance? One of the first areas of your new Toyota you should be concerned about are the tires.
Tires are the most fundamentally critical part of any car, because they are the only part that touches the ground.
In other words, it doesn't matter if everything else is working correctly: without tires, you're going nowhere.
Two important tire factors are tread depth, and inflation.
Your vehicle's recommended tire pressure should be listed on a placard inside the driver's side door. Be sure to check your inflation every now and again: correct inflation ensures maximum fuel economy, and even tread wear.
Tread depth between 10/32 inch and 6/32 inch is considered safe, fresh tread. At 5/32 inch, consider replacing your tires. Under 4/32 inch tread depth, you may be at risk of hydroplaning.
