minimise exposure to direct sunlight, maintain correct pressure and alignment settings, minimise driving over curbs, dry steering, parking for more than a week. then clean and condition as often as u can.

1. Pay attention when driving to avoid potholes or any odd objects on the road. 2. Check air pressure once a month and don't over/under inflate. 3. Rotate every 10 or 15k km. Inspect at each oil change. 4. Do alignment when steering not straight or when you observe got uneven tire wear, or once every 20k km. 5. Every time before you go out the first time, go around your car to visually check if the tires not under inflated.

Also frequently check the tyre wear indicator.
It is the arrow or michelin man (for michelin tyres) at the sidewall of the tyre.
Change your tyres when the wear has reach that indicator

don't park the car in such a way the tyre look like pacman because the kerb/stopper is squeezing so hard on the tyre..give it a two finger gap at least..
