Tires and Signs of Trouble

Tires play an important role in your car and can often be the lifeblood of your vehicle. If you don’t have good tires, your car will struggle to move as efficiently as it should. In this article, we’ll take a look at what to look for when checking tire pressure, how to fix a flat tire, and more.

Tires come in a variety of sizes and styles. To choose the right tire for your vehicle, you need to assess the size, type, and make of your vehicle. Additionally, be sure to check the tire’s inflation pressure to ensure it will fit properly on your vehicle. If you are not sure what the correct air pressure should be, make sure to read the vehicle owner’s manual. You can also look inside the car door jamb for the correct amount. If you still cannot find what the correct amount should be, make sure to contact us. We can advise and recommend what the air pressure should be.

Tires and Noticing Issues

When checking a tire for quality, look for:

-An air pressure reading that is within specification

-No leaks

-The surface of the tire that is clean and dry

-A deep tread

Anytime the car is in less than ideal condition, make sure to bring the vehicle in. We can check the tires to ensure they are in the best condition they should be. The tread should wear evenly over the entire tire. You can check this easily by using just a penny. Place it upside down in the tread wear. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, then the tires should be replaced.

What to Do If You Have Tire Trouble

If there are any problems or issues with the tires, make sure to schedule an appointment. We can inspect the tires and advise you on what steps you should take to have the best condition possible. When the tires are in the ideal condition, your safety is improved as well.
