We know that everyone has busy lives, and there is a lot to think about outside of our favorite Ram 1500 pickup truck. However, here at Westborn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Dearborn, we want to remind all of our customers about the importance of tire care. The tires on your Ram 1500 are responsible for not only keeping you safe during every drive but also giving you the traction and reliability you need to handle tough tasks for work. Without tires you can rely on, every job becomes that much harder, and every drive that much more perilous. Today, we want to spend some time giving you tips on how to keep the tires on your truck in the best condition possible for years to come. Remember, we're on this journey together, and we can't wait to help you out!
How often should I be getting a tire rotation?
One of the top pieces of tire care that we want to remind you about includes tire rotations! You've likely had one or two done before and not even really realized why this type of routine maintenance is so important to your Ram 1500. Regularly having a tire rotation helps to ensure you are getting even tread wear throughout every drive. We recommend getting a tire rotation about every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, depending on your driving habits. Our professionals will be able to have a closer look at your tires more often, and even catch any issues if they find any. This will be a good time for them to suggest whether it's time for a new set of tires or not. Remember, don't skip out on this key maintenance, as it will help your tires last longer.
Can you tell me how to check the tread depth of my Ram 1500's tires?
Checking the tread depth of your Ram 1500's tires is something you can do at home whenever you have a few extra minutes! We always want to keep our customers as informed as possible, and we know that the classic penny test is pretty unbeatable here. What you will want to do is put the penny down, head first. If you can see the entirety of Lincoln's head, then your tires are too worn, and it's time for you to order a new set from us. However, if you can't see all of Lincoln's head, then your tires are still in good enough condition to keep moving. Remember to always choose the part of your tire with the lowest tread to make sure you are getting the best results. Tread is key, so you do not want to get this kind of test wrong.
What do I do if the TPMS comes on my Ram 1500?
Your TPMS, or Tire Pressure Monitoring System, in your Ram 1500 is responsible for keeping track of the tire pressure that is inside your tires. Tire pressure helps to keep the tires are the correct PSI so they can run as efficiently and smoothly as possible without the fear of a blowout, or even driving around on a flat tire that is far less efficient than the alternative. Should the TPMS light come on, we think it's time for you to either 1. Check the tire pressure yourself using a gauge or 2. Bring your Ram 1500 to our service center so our professionals can take a look at what might be causing the light to come on. Our professionals can test all of the tires, find out where they are sitting for PSI, and either expel or add air, depending on what is needed to get you to the manufacturer's suggested PSI.
