Check your tires

PREPARATIONS FOR fall and winter driving should include close inspections of all tires to be sure the heat of summer hasn’t taken its toll, say tire technology engineers.

Motorists saould look for tread wear indicators, which appear as bands of solid rubber across the tread face of the tire when the tread has worn down. A tire showing its tread wear indicators should be replaced immediately.

Drivers also should consider rotating their tires and having them rebalanced to get a better “feel”? for winter road conditions.

All motorists should regularly check the air pressure in their tires and maintain the level recom- mended by the vehicle manufac- turer.

Invest in retreads

EVERY YEAR millions of scrap tires add to the billions of tires al- ready overflowing at landfills.

The use of retreaded tires can help to reduce this grcwing prob- Jem. And retreads help conserve oil since tires are mostly pet-

rolesm-based. Thanks to retread--

ed tires, millions of gallors of oil every year can be saved.

Retreaded tires have the same safety and performance charac- teristics as comparable new tires, which is why retreads are used by every major airlize, fire engines and other emerzgency vehicles, schoo! buses, taxis, all kinds of: trucks and millions of automobiles.
