Many companies now offer spray-on tire-care products. Some people prefer the glossy-black look while others like a more natural semi-gloss black. Common soap pads can be used to clean white letters and to remove the brown brake dust from the sidewalls. 

Most people are well aware that tire failures can be fatal. With this in mind, get in the habit of visually inspecting daily for sidewall bulges and checking air pressure at every gas stop. After all, a tire pressure gauge is a lot cheaper than a new set of tires. 

Proper inflation pressure makes tires last longer, and it also improves the vehicle's fuel economy. Assuming that the wheels are properly aligned, under-inflation causes the tires' shoulders to wear faster than the centers, and over-inflation makes the center strips go bald earlier than the shoulders. Your owner's manual will recommend the correct pressure for your vehicle.
