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.

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:

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!
