Proper tire inflation is essential for safe driving and long tire life. It's wise to check your tires' air pressure at least once a month with an accurate tire pressure gauge. Be sure to check pressure while your tires are cold and have not been used recently. Even driving a mile will cause your tire pressure to increase and give you an inaccurate reading.
A continuous loss of inflation pressure may indicate a possible tire or wheel assembly problem. Consult your Goodyear retailer immediately if you experience this.
Goodyear suggests you check your tire tread every 3,000 miles. Here are two simple tests:
A simple penny test every 3,000 miles can help you easily determine when you need new tires.

Check the Tread Wear Indicator Bar: Located at the bottoms of the tread grooves in several locations around the tire. When a tire is so worn that these bars become visibly flush with the adjacent tread ribs, it's time to replace the tire.
When wear patterns emerge, they can indicate problems with your tires or your vehicle that reduce the useful life of a tire. Have your tires checked by a Goodyear retailer if you notice any of these common wear patterns:
Wear on both edges: UNDERINFLATION
Wear in center: OVERINFLATION
Cups or dips in the tread: WORN PARTS
Sawtooth edges: MISALIGNMENT
