Tire Tread & Alignment
You have undoubtedly understood how crazy I am with wheels and tires. They are essential to ensuring your safety as well as the proper operation of your vehicle. The tread depth on your tires can be measured with a quarter, and you can visually inspect your vehicle's alignment.
Jacking Up Your Car
Knowing how to jack your automobile is crucial if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to. If you don't know what you're doing, you can damage your vehicle's frame by crashing the jack stands into it. This is the last thing you want to happen. It is possible to lift the vehicle from a divot or other region on the frame of the majority of automobiles; nevertheless, I strongly advise you to consult the owner's manual of your vehicle to determine the precise location of this area.
Changing A Tire
To continue in the same vein as the last statement, everyone needs to be able to change their tires. That doesn't mean you have to do it every time, but you should still get some practice in case you get stuck somewhere or find yourself out late at night with a flat tire. There is a video tutorial available for you to watch on YouTube.

Identify the Location of Your Spare Tire
A close call! When you need to change your tire, you'll have to put on a spare, so be sure you know where your spare tire and all the jack pieces are in your vehicle. A spare tire is something that every car manufactured in the last few decades ought to have.
