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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I rotate my tires?
We recommend a tire rotation every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or about every other oil change. This helps ensure your tires wear evenly and extends their lifespan, saving you money in the long run.
What are the signs that my tires need to be replaced?
The most critical sign is tread depth. If the tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch, the tire is no longer safe and must be replaced. Other signs include visible cracks in the sidewall, bulges or blisters, and persistent vibrations that don’t go away after balancing.
Why is wheel balancing important?
Wheel balancing ensures that weight is distributed evenly around the tire and wheel assembly. Unbalanced tires can cause vibrations at high speeds, create uneven wear patterns on the tread, and put extra stress on your vehicle's suspension components.
How does the weather in Murphy affect my tires?
Murphy’s intense summer heat can cause the rubber in your tires to break down more quickly and can also increase the air pressure inside them. During wet winter months, having adequate tread depth is crucial for maintaining traction and preventing hydroplaning.
