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.
Understanding Tire Repair Needs
Knowing when your tires need repair versus replacement can prevent expensive problems later on. While a simple flat tire repair can fix a puncture from a nail, structural damage or excessive wear requires a full replacement.
Common indicators include:
- Uneven Tread Wear: This might point to alignment issues or improper inflation. Regular checks can reveal suspension problems that cause significant wear.
- Frequent Air Loss: Tires that lose air often could have a valve stem problem or a bead leak, requiring professional tire repair.
- Vibration or Noise: If you feel vibrations while driving, your tires may be out of balance or damaged.
In Flowery Branch, sudden temperature swings can exacerbate these issues. If you experience anything unusual, a professional assessment could catch problems early.
At Christian Brothers Automotive Flowery Branch, our technicians use advanced diagnostics to resolve problems quickly and accurately.
