The Importance of Your Tires
The condition of your tires is of vital importance, as these are the only parts that connect your car to the road surface. The vehicle’s tires form a crucial part of the suspension system, responsible for carrying force onto the surface of the road through the motions of driving and steering, as well as the force of braking to stop the vehicle. Good tires cause a suitable amount of friction between the tires and the road to keep it going well and safely.. Well-maintained tires mean they are properly inflated, regularly rotated to avoid uneven tread wear, checked for balance and alignment. Regular tire maintenance contributes to safe, efficient driving as well as a comfortable ride. Give us a call to avail of our professional services: tire installation; wheel balancing; tire rotation, tire pressure check, and more. In addition, you will get invaluable tips on how to care for and maintain your tires, as well as when to buy and how to choose the best tires for your vehicle.
Benefits of Tire Services
Making sure a vehicle’s tires are properly inflated will keep your tires in good, safe running condition for a much longer time than if there is too much or less air. Underinflated tires have more flexible sidewalls, which increase rolling resistance. This results in premature tire wear, and a decrease in fuel economy. Overinflated tires will result in uneven tire wear, especially in the center. Tires will also be stiff and rigid, making them more prone to damage. Uneven tire wear can also lead to misalignment of the wheels. Either way, improper tire inflation affects tire performance, and worse, pose danger on the road. Be assured that our service staff follows inflation standards in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation.
