Did You Know: The tires on your car wear at immensely different rates. Therefore rotating them on a regular schedule is your best defense to prevent the need to replace them early. A general guide to follow is to have them rotated every 5,000 miles or so.
Signs You Need Tire Repair or Replacement
Your tires often give physical warning signs before they fail completely. Recognizing these symptoms allows you to schedule tire repair or replacement before a safety issue arises. Paying attention to how your vehicle feels and looks can save you from a dangerous situation on the road.
Watch for these common indicators that your tires need attention:
- Low Tread: If the tread wear bars are visible, you need tire replacement immediately.
- Vibration: Shaking at highway speeds often indicates balance issues or worn tires.
- Constant Loss: Frequent need to add air suggests a slow leak or damaged tires.
- Sidewall Cracks: Visible cuts or bubbles warn of potential structural failure and blowouts.
- Warning Light: The TPMS dashboard light signals improper tire pressure that needs attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a tire rotation?
Most manufacturers recommend a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This simple service promotes even tread wear, extending the life of your tires and ensuring consistent handling on Argyle roads.
Can you fix a puncture in the sidewall?
No, flat tire repair is only safe within the central tread area. Damage to the sidewall compromises the tire's structure, making tire replacement the only safe option to prevent blowouts.
How do I know if I need new tires?
If your tread depth is below 2/32 of an inch, or if you see cracks, bubbles, or uneven wear, it is time for tire replacement in Argyle. We can measure this for you quickly.
Do you offer a warranty on tires?
Yes, many of the new tires we install come with manufacturer coverage, and our services are backed by our industry-leading warranty. This protects your investment against defects and workmanship issues.
Why is my tire pressure light on?
The light indicates that one or more tires are significantly underinflated. Fluctuating temperatures in Denton County often trigger this. Stop by our tire shop for a quick check and adjustment.
