Wheels and Tires – Fix that “Dragging” Problem

  • Check Tire Pressure – Is your car dragging like an old hag? Check the tire pressure and have it properly adjusted. Keep in mind bad tire pressure could result in your car transforming into a gas guzzler, hindering fuel-economy and handling and comfort.
  • Rotate Your Tires – But don’t your tires rotate every day? Well, they do, but by rotating I mean to switch tire places to ensure they stay in optimal condition.
  • Clean Brake Dust – Brake dust contains all sorts of nasty stuff. Leave it too long and your wheels will be caked with moisture and road grime. Consequently, use a damp and wet sponge to clean brake dust every month.
