Tire service is essential for maintaining your vehicle's safety, performance, and fuel efficiency.
Tire Rotation: Regular tire rotations help ensure even tire wear, extending the lifespan of your tires. It involves moving each tire to a different position on the vehicle, such as from front to back or side to side, according to the recommended rotation pattern outlined in your vehicle's owner's manual. This helps promote uniform wear across all tires.
Tire Balancing: Over time, tires can become unbalanced due to uneven wear or changes in tire weight distribution. Tire balancing involves adding small weights to the wheel rim to ensure that the tire and wheel assembly rotates evenly. Balancing helps prevent vibrations, improves ride quality, and prolongs tire life.
Tire Pressure Check and Adjustment: Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial for safety, tire longevity, and fuel efficiency. Check tire pressure regularly (at least once a month) using a tire pressure gauge and adjust as needed to match the recommended pressure specified in your vehicle's owner's manual or on the tire placard usually located on the driver's side door jamb.
