What are some tips for maintaining the tires on a Toyota Yaris?

I just purchased a Toyota Yaris and I want to make sure I am taking good care of the tires. Are there any specific maintenance tasks I should be doing on a regular basis? How often should I check the tire pressure and rotate the tires?

As a general rule, you should check your tire pressure at least once a month. Low tire pressure can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and potential safety hazards. It's also a good idea to rotate your tires every 5,000-8,000 miles to help evenly distribute wear and extend the life of your tires.

In addition to regular maintenance tasks, make sure to inspect your tires for any signs of wear or damage. Look for bulges, cuts, or uneven tread wear. If you notice any issues, it's important to have them addressed as soon as possible to avoid potential tire failures while driving.

Another tip is to make sure your tires are properly inflated according to the recommendations in your owner's manual. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect handling and tire wear. And don't forget to check your spare tire too!
