The Kindness of a Tire Check

"Never suppress a generous thought."
~ Camilla Eyring Kimball

Years ago, a friend and I were walking to our cars after a board meeting.  He looked at my tires and said that they looked as though they were pretty low on tread.  I had never given my tires much thought, but I took the car in and sure enough, it was time for new tires.  Since then, I have kept an eye on my tires.  I always check in with my service adviser and when he says that I should have them looked at in a couple thousand miles, I make a note of it and keep tabs as that mileage approaches.  I took another look at my tires today -- and although I never quite know what I am looking for (yes, I would recognize completely bald), I now know to get them checked.  And every time that I think of making sure my tires are in good shape, I think of my friend and his thoughtfulness.
