Safety and conservation are two of the main agendas that Michelin Tires aims to focus on as it reminds motorists the importance of well-maintained tires in these hard times. Tires play an important role in the overall performance of vehicles and this includes that of fuel consumption. While many go for style, this is not the time for it especially if you are aching to resolve your car tire maintenance issues.

The MICHELIN Energy Saver A/S tire, on-sale this week, is a concrete example of a tire that offers exceptional levels of fuel-efficiency, without sacrificing other key performances and gives consumers an ideal balance. It is one of the first all-season tires in the industry to combine low levels of rolling resistance with superior levels of wet braking and all-season performance.

The Energy Saver All-Season is now available in four sizes that include popular mainstream and hybrid vehicles. The sizes are: P215/60R16; P195/65R15; P195/60R15 and P185/65R15.

National Tire Safety Week is on June 8 to 13 and in line with this event, Discount Tire and AAA Show Your Card and Save are offering free tire checks for all motorists who visit any Discount Tire Store. So for motorists who are unsure about the current state of their tires, here is a chance for you to have a free checkup and avoid the problems of tire issues.

The inspection, which takes three to five minutes, includes a check of tire tread depth, tire age, air and a visual inspection by automotive technicians checking for cracks or breaks in the tire and objects, such as nails, embedded in the tire. Those bringing their vehicles to Discount Tire during the week will receive a free tire air gauge, tread depth gauge card and a list of tire safety tips. AAA members also receive a five percent discount on any purchases of wheels and tires.

This is a great way to avoid the usual road problems you may encounter with your vehicle. Further, it helps you avoid potential hazards such as accidents or having to pull over to change tires (assuming your spare tire is ok).

All Discount Tire shops follow standard operating hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule on weekdays and up to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.
