Tires are the most important feature on your car. They are the only thing between the car and the road. Anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control don't work, if your tires are inadequate.
Say it ain't so! "Nothing good ever lasts." While your car may last decades, your tires won't. It's advised to swap out your tires a few times during the lifespan of automobile. How long the tread lasts varies depending on type of car, tire, driving style, as well as, the condition of the road and the weather you encounter. Tire maintenance and driving responsibly can help you get the most mileage out of your tires.

Alignments
Wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, as well as each other. Alignment also affects gas mileage and tire wear. If your tires are pointed in different directions, they fight against each other and can cause tread wear. Computerized alignment equipment is used to measure all alignment angles on today's cars. These include both adjustable and non-adjustable angles. (Non-adjustable angles require repair or replacement of the suspension component.)

Tire Inspection
We suggest having a professional take a close look at your tires occasionally, including your spare. Inspecting the tire tread and sidewalls for abnormalities can be important "down the road". Road debris and foreign objects like glass, stones, etc can be a hazard for safe travel. Irregular tread wear, cuts, bulges, scrapes, and cracking can also be a problem. We can spot these issues early on the prevent any further damage. Even the smallest issue when it comes to tire failure can lead to a major, even life threatening, event. A sitting vehicle, over or under inflating your tires, or overloading can lead to these types of problems.

Tire Rotation
Rotating your tires is moving the wheels and tires of a vehicle from one position to another position, to even out the tire's wear, which can maximize the potential lifespan of your tires. This is important because each tire carries a different weight depending on the portion of the vehicle that rides on it, making the tire treads wear down at different times. By switching our the placement (rotating them), you try to eliminate those differences. Generally a rotation interval of 6,000 miles is recommended, but you should refer to your owner's manual for the recommended rotation interval & pattern for your specific vehicle. The rotation pattern varies with different makes & models, which shows the tire locations during rotation. Some vehicles have different size tires on the front & back or directional tires. This limits the locations that a tire may take on the vehicle. Tire rotation time also offers a good opportunity to have the tires & wheels balanced. It's another step you can take to maximize your tire investment.
