Tire Services

The connection between your vehicle and the surface of the road is tires. The tires on your vehicle are a critical part of the suspension system and are responsible for transmitting the forces of driving, steering and braking to the surface of the road. Tires are often overlooked even though they are easily maintained. Design of the tire and air inside the tires both influence vehicle performance, tire tread life, and ride comfort. Maintaining your tires is important to get the most bang for your buck by making them last longer. You should seek tire rotation, balance, and alignment from our staff to understand the basics of tire care and maintenance. Our staff will also help you understand tire sidewall markings, teach you when the best time to purchase a new set of tires is, and show you how to choose the right set of tires for your vehicle.​

Benefits

Poor tire inflation levels and improper tire rotation cause premature tire wear. Underinflated tires often have flexible sidewalls that result in quicker sidewall wear, whereas correctly inflated tires tend to have durable sidewalls. Excessive center tread wear will also result from overinflated tires. Improper tire wear, like excessive lean, has the potential to be relieved by wheel balancing. However, alignment issues may also be the cause of improper tire wear. Our staff will be able to determine whether a tire balancing or rotation service can solve your current set of issues during any tire repair service. Our staff will take care to follow the inflation standards recommended by the manufacturer during a new tire installation because tire inflation is so important. Overall, adequate tire inflation can lead to reduced tread movement, increased water dissipation, reduced rolling resistance, proper traction, and proper load carrying capabilities. Our tire service work results in better fuel economy and longer tread life.

Computerized Wheel Balancing
Approximate Time:  15 Minutes
Wheel balancers that are computerized are used by professionals to find the weight difference within a tire and wheel assembly. Highly accurate machines, computerized wheel balancers identify the weight distribution problem areas within an assembly. A tire and its wheel should complement one-another, with both maintaining an equal amount of weight throughout the assembly. The assembly will be perfect if the air is even throughout the tire and the wheel is perfectly round. However, nearly tires and wheels are never perfect. So that drivers can easily match it to the heaviest part of the wheel, some tire manufacturers mark the lightest part of a tire. Weight distribution in a tire and wheel assembly will gradually become imbalanced over time and with normal usage. The slightest weight difference in an assembly can cause great damage and annoyance. The balance of your car or truck's wheels will be returned to factory specifications with a computerized wheel balancing service.​

Tire Purchase & Tire Installation
Approximate Time: 15 Minutes
The tire purchasing and installation process usually follows when tires are completely worn or unable to meet a driver’s needs. There are many reasons a motorist might want to purchase new tires, even when their current set isn't worn. Tires with a high load rating are necessary for a vehicle towing heavy weight. The driver might prefer to purchase new tires with a better traction rating if the vehicle is driven in an area with heavy rain. Our service staff will conduct a thorough investigation of your driving needs to help guarantee the best possible set of tires for your car or truck during our tire purchase and installation service. After a driver buys new tires, they will need to get them correctly installed on their vehicle.

Tire Rotation
Approximate Time: 15 Minutes
In our tire rotation service, we change the position of a vehicle's tires to reduce the tread differentiation between them. Different tires tend to exhibit different amounts of tread wear, because each tire experiences different types and amounts of stress. Uneven tread wear can be effectively dealt with by rotating motorists' tires. Uneven tread wear can be reduced by alternating tires according to tire rotation patterns, which helps distribute tread wear more evenly. The tire rotation pattern may vary depending upon the type of vehicle a motorist drives and the type of tires on the vehicle. Rotation experts may exchange the front tires with the rear tires, or swap the front and rear tires. The rotation cycle may also include a full-size matching spare tire if the vehicle has one.​
