Important Facts About the 7 7 Tire Rule
The 7/7 rule for tires is a simple guideline used to help drivers remember when to check and service their tires.
How to Use the 7/7 Rule
Every 7 days you should check tire pressure, because tires naturally lose air over time and temperature changes can affect inflation. Proper pressure improves fuel economy, handling, and tire life.
Before driving 7 hours or more or taking a long road trip, you should inspect your tires more thoroughly. This includes checking tread depth, looking for visible damage like cuts, bulges, or cracks, and making sure all tires are properly inflated, including the spare.
Why the 7/7 Rule Matters
Underinflated or damaged tires are one of the leading causes of tire failure and blowouts, especially during long drives when heat builds up. Following the 7/7 rule helps catch small issues before they turn into dangerous or expensive problems.
What the Rule Does Not Replace
The 7/7 rule does not replace regular professional inspections, tire rotations, or alignments. It is a reminder for basic driver maintenance, not a substitute for expert service.
If you ever notice uneven wear, repeated pressure loss, or visible tire damage, it’s best to have your tires inspected by a professional. At MR Automotive, we’re always happy to help keep your tires safe and road‑ready.
