Firestone notes air pressure is free but often ignored. A Cleveland TV survey found only one of 32 tires at proper pressure. Overinflation and underinflation harm tire wear and fuel use.

Also check wheel balance, alignment, and spare air.

Safety at stake as maintenance lags in MEMA study

MEMA reports that over 40 percent of maintenance tasks in original owner cars averaging 3.86 years remain undone.

Brakes and shocks are particularly neglected with 54 percent never having brake replacement and 57.7 percent retaining original shocks after four years.
