Proper tire maintenance is crucial for vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and performance. This seasonal guide covers everything from pressure checks to rotation schedules. Winter, tire pressure tends to decrease with the cold temperatures - approximately 1 PSI for every 10°F drop. Check your pressure monthly during winter and maintain the manufacturer's recommended PSI (found on the driver's door jamb sticker, not the tire sidewall).Summer heat presents different challenges, causing tire pressure to increase and accelerating wear on underinflated tires. Additionally, ensure tread depth remains adequate for proper traction using the penny test - insert a penny upside down in the tread groove; if you can see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for new tires.Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles to ensure even wear patterns. Front-wheel drive vehicles typically wear front tires faster, while rear-wheel drive vehicles experience the opposite effect.",
