Tires

The importance of tires on a vehicle cannot be overstated when it comes to safety. As they are the only part of the vehicle that makes contact with the road. Tires can be considered one of the most important components related to safety, comfort, and reliability.

Take a look at some of the key reasons tires are so important:

Safety

Good tires are critical for maintaining control of the vehicle, especially during emergency maneuvers and adverse weather conditions. Tires with proper tread depth and inflation pressure provide better traction and handling, which helps to prevent accidents and keep drivers and passengers safe.

Efficiency

Tires can also affect the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Underinflated or worn out tires can increase the rolling resistance, which requires more energy to move the vehicle and leads to lower fuel economy. Properly inflated and well-maintained tires can improve fuel efficiency and save money on gas.

Performance

Tires can have a significant impact on the performance of the vehicle, including acceleration, braking, and handling. Worn or damaged tires can significantly reduce a vehicle’s braking performance, which can increase the risk of accidents and collisions. High-quality tires with the right specifications can improve the vehicle’s braking, handling, responsiveness, and overall performance.

Durability

Tires are designed to withstand the weight and stresses of the vehicle, and they need to be properly maintained and replaced when necessary to ensure their longevity. High quality and well maintained tires can also help to provide a smoother, more comfortable ride by absorbing bumps and vibrations on the road. Regular tire maintenance, such as rotation and alignment can extend the life of a vehicle’s tires and provide a more enjoyable driving experience.

Tire Services

Having the appropriate tire services performed is essential to maintaining a safe, reliable, and well-maintained vehicle. These services are often best performed by well trained and qualified technicians and include:

Tire Repair: Repairing a vehicle’s tire is often required when a puncture or slow leak is present. Common repairs can include patches, plugs, or resealing the bead between the wheel and the tire. Addressing a damaged tire in a timely manner is essential to ensure the damage doesn’t become escalated beyond repair.

Tire Rotation: Rotating a vehicle’s tires involves moving the tires from one position to another on the vehicle. This is done to ensure an even wear and prolonged lifespan of the vehicle’s tires. Tires should be rotated on average every 5,000 miles.

Tire Balancing: Balancing a tire is a process that involves equalizing the weight distribution of the tire and wheel assembly. An unbalanced tire can cause excessive vibration while driving and lead to uneven wear of the tires. It is best to have this service performed using a special tire balancing machine to ensure precise weight balancing.

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS): A vehicle’s tire pressure monitor system is designed to monitor the air pressure inside the tires of the vehicle. When the TPMS is operating correctly, the driver will be alerted by an icon on the dash if any one or more of the tire pressure drops below a certain threshold. It is essential to keep this system operating correctly to avoid excess damage to the vehicle’s tires.

Tire Replacement: The need to replace a vehicle’s tire can arise due to several reasons, such as normal wear and tear, damage caused by road hazards, or aging of the tire. In general, it’s recommended to replace your tires when the tread depth is below 2/32 of an inch, the tire wear indicator is showing, or if there are any signs of damage or uneven wear. When it’s time to replace your tires, it is important to choose the right size and type of tire for the vehicle per manufacturer specifications. It is best to consult an experienced and certified auto technician to help provide the right recommendation for the vehicle’s new set of tires.

Tire and Wheel Alignment

A vehicle’s wheel alignment refers to the process of adjusting the suspension and angles of the wheels based on manufacturing specifications. Proper tire and wheel alignment ensures that a vehicle handles correctly, maximizes tire life, and prevents unnecessary wear and tear on the vehicle’s suspension components. It’s important to have your vehicle’s wheel alignment checked regularly, especially if you notice uneven tire wear, pulling to one side while driving, or a steering wheel that’s off-center. In addition to reducing unnecessary wear on a vehicle’s suspension and tires, a proper wheel alignment can improve fuel efficiency, handling, and safety.

If you suspect that your vehicle’s tires are wearing unevenly or losing air, you are experiencing vibrations at any speed, or your steering wheel isn’t centered while driving straight, its important to have a qualified technician inspect your vehicle as soon as possible. The technicians at Owens 30 North Auto Repair undergo continuous training to ensure they are up to date with the latest automotive industry technology, tools and parts. Each technician is highly trained and well-versed in using our state-of-the-art tools and technology including our tire changing machine, tire balancing machine, wheel alignment machine, and TPMS scanner.
