Now that summer is here, vacation season is in full swing. Millions of families will venture out on road trips to destinations near and far – I know we have a few short trips planned over the next few months!
But before you head off on your next epic adventure, it’s a good idea to get your tires checked. If you haven’t replaced your tires in a few years, there’s a decent chance you’ll need an upgrade. Tires that don’t have a good amount of tread are unsafe to drive – to keep your family safe on the road you want to keep your tires in tip-top shape! Here are a few tips from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Tire Safety Tips
✔ Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month), including the spare.
✔ Inspect tires for uneven wear patterns on the tread, cracks, foreign objects, or other signs of wear or trauma.
✔ Remove bits of glass and other foreign objects wedged in the tread.
✔ Make sure your tire valves have valve caps.
✔ Check tire pressure before going on a long trip.
✔ Do not overload your vehicle. Check the tire information placard or owner’s manual for the maximum recommended load for the vehicle.
✔ If you are towing a trailer, remember that some of the weight of the loaded trailer is transferred to the towing vehicle.

How the “Dare to Compare” Offer Works
Bring a valid “all-in” quote from a tire sales and installation retailer to your Sam’s Club Tire and Battery Center service counter. The quote must be printed on dealer/retailer letterhead and dated within the past 7 business days. The tire must be the same brand, same line, same load index and speed rating (service description) as the tire intended for purchase at Sam’s Club. Sam’s Club carries some club-specific tire lines – in these cases, Sam’s Club will compare the club-specific tire line to the equivalent general-market tire line. Sam’s Club considers the following tire lines to be equivalent and will price match accordingly:
Club-Specific Tire Model – General-Market Tire Model:
BFGoodrich Touring T/A – BFGoodrich Advantage T/A
Michelin Defender XT – Michelin Defender
Michelin X Radial LT2 – Michelin LTX M/S2
Plus additional savings on:

Checking pressure is one of those things that I’ve constantly tried to do since I started driving. But I’ve never really thought about checking the tread regularly. Overload is one of those things that you don’t really think about as you’re going around, but it’s a good thing to know. Thanks for the reminder!
