Is it time for new tires? Here’s where to start-
Check for tread depth, cracks, damage and uneven wear. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time for a replacement.
It’s a good idea to practice tire safety on a regular basis. Checking tire pressure and for irregularities, can improve vehicle handling, help protect you and others from avoidable breakdowns and accidents, improve fuel economy and increase the life of your tires.
If you live in a dry area, or your vehicle has sat for an extended period of time, check for dry rotting.
Let our experts show you your options, that will increase better traction and braking in the winter months. We do our absolute best to keep your car on the road and running safe!
Tire Balancing
Proper Tire balance will:
-Extend tire life
-Boost fuel economy
-Improve handling
-Reduce chassis component wear
-Keep you safe
When should I have my Tires Balanced?
Every time you buy a new set of tires, if you hear or feel your tires shimmy or shake, have your tires professionally balanced.
A technician uses special equipment to spin your wheels and detect imbalances, then attaches weights to the wheel to balance the assembly.
Having your tires properly balanced will:
-Improve road handling
-Reduce tire noise
-Promote even tire wear
Road Force Balance
Road Force Balancing; a tire and wheel are matched as an assembly. It allows the heavy spot of the tire to counteract the heavy spot on a rim. It allows for a better balance of the assembly and less unsightly weights needed to be placed on the rim. It also improves ride feel, especially at higher speeds.
Paul G “I had mine done after experiencing vibration at speeds above 65 mph with a new set of “balanced” wheels and tires. All four wheels were out of balance and are much better now they’ve been rebalanced. Do it… It’s well worth it.”
