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 can prevent larger, costlier problems later on.
Common indicators include:
- Uneven Tread Wear: This may suggest alignment issues or improper inflation, both of which require attention. Regularly checking tread wear patterns can also reveal suspension problems that could lead to more extensive wear.
- Frequent Air Loss: If your tires frequently lose air, there may be a puncture or valve stem problem that needs repair. This could also point to damage in the bead seat or tire sidewalls, which are critical for maintaining proper air pressure.
- Vibration or Noise: Experiencing vibrations or noise while driving could mean your tires are damaged or misaligned. These symptoms can also indicate that the tires are unbalanced, which can affect handling and safety.
Regular tire inspections can significantly enhance your safety on the road. At Christian Brothers Automotive, our technicians are trained to detect and resolve these issues promptly, using the latest diagnostic tools to ensure precision and efficacy in every repair.
