When to Check Your Tires and Suspension
1
Spring Inspection
After winter, your suspension takes a beating from potholes and salt. Check alignment, shock absorbers, and springs for wear. It's the perfect time to swap winter tires for summer ones if you haven't already.
2
Summer Maintenance
Heat makes tire pressure climb. Check pressures monthly and inspect tread depth regularly. Summer's a good season to spot suspension issues before they become dangerous on longer drives.
3
Fall Preparation
Before winter arrives, get a full suspension check. Replace worn pads, check ball joints, and ensure everything's tight. Then switch to winter tires — don't wait for the first snow.
