Tire Rotations
Tire rotation ensures that all the tires wear evenly, as front tires wear much more quickly than rear tires. Generally, the professional recommendation on tire rotation is for one service every 8,000 km. These help you save money and sustain the life of your tires.
Tire Balancing
Though tire balancing and wheel alignment seem indistinguishable, they are not quite the same thing. Tire balancing corrects weight imbalances within the tire and the wheel, as small weights are inserted into the wheel’s barrel. We can help you check if your tires need balancing.
Tire Pressure Gauges
Optimal tire inflation helps to ensure efficient performance, fuel economy and safety. In situations of major temperature changes, it is ideal to have your tires set to the recommendations of your vehicle manufacturer that are generally provided on your owner’s manual, the inside of the driver’s side door, glove compartment, or fuel hatch. We suggest checking tire inflation pressure about once a month as incorrect tire pressure can lead to flat tires, increase the tire’s stiffness, or cause other damages.
The Best Way to Do a Tire Safety Check
It is important to inspect your tires regularly or have a professional do it for you. Here are some factors to consider regarding the health of your tire:
Tire Alignments
For your vehicle to operate safely and efficiently, tire alignments adjust its suspension pieces to bring the tires and wheels into specific angles.
The proper alignment process takes about an hour. Though most experts recommend alignments once or twice a year, it depends on your driving conditions - for instance, driving over potholes regularly requires more frequent alignment checks.
We recommend tire alignments if:
Tire Replacement
Experts will always suggest frequent tire replacements. Though it may only be practical to do one or two at a time. For your tire replacements, we ensure the new tires are the same size, model, and tread pattern as the rest, so that there is uniformity in the gradual wear and tear of the tires.
