As the sole point of contact between your vehicle and the road, your tires are an essential part of your car's safe and efficient functioning. Because they receive regular wear and tear, it's important to keep your tires well-maintained and to replace them periodically to allow your vehicle to perform at its safest and most efficient.
Here at Huffines CJDR Plano, we provide a range of high-quality tire services for your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles, including tire inspection, patching and repair, rotations, and alignments. We also offer plenty of promotional offers and comfortable amenities to make your tire care experience the best that it can be. Read on to learn more about the importance of tire care as well as the types of services we provide.
When to Get New Tires
Even though tires are an important part of a healthy and safe vehicle, it can be hard to know when it's really time to replace them. After all, a set of tires tends to be a pricey investment, and most people are inclined to save money whenever possible. However, it's important not to neglect regular maintenance and replacement. A healthy set of tires not only means a more fuel-efficient vehicle but also a much safer drive without the risk of an accident caused by worn tread, a sudden blow-out, or a flat.
The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration suggests replacing your tires every six to 10 years, depending on the manufacturer's recommendation. Whether your vehicle requires all-season tires, winter tires, summer tires, or all-terrain tires, there are many ways to check and maintain the quality of your wheels that you should repeat regularly to know if they need replacing.
Check the Tire Pressure
You can determine what your vehicle's tire pressure should be by reading the label on the inside edge of the driver's side door. Keep a tire pressure gauge in your car and check the pressure of all of your tires, including your spare, at least once a month so that you can inflate them or identify a leak if necessary.
Check for Physical Damage
You should also keep an eye out for any signs of damage, including cracks, side bulges, or impacted objects such as nails. Any significant damage is a good indicator that you should replace your tire if it can't be repaired.
Check the Tire Tread
In addition to checking for other signs of damage, worn tire tread can be dangerous if ignored. Aside from any built-in tread wear indicators, you can use the penny test to determine if the tread is too worn to drive on - insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see the top of his head, it's time to replace your tires.
Have Your Tires Balanced, Aligned, and Rotated
Having a qualified technician properly balance and align your tires is important to avoid shaking or vibration when driving as well as veering in one direction when driving in a straight line. Additionally, having your tires regularly rotated ensures even wear across all of your tires, extending their lifespan and maintaining your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
