Tire Services

Tires play an important role in your vehicle’s performance: proper maintenance, including monitoring tire pressure at least once a month, tread depth and performing regular tire rotations are all routine maintenance issues that can mean the difference in your family's safety. Rotating your tires can influence more even tire wear, increasing the life of your tires.

Warning Signs You Should Know

• Pulling or a tendency to steer to one side or other could be due to an under-inflated tires, or could signal a damaged or misaligned front end.
• An unbalanced or improperly balanced tire will cause your vehicle to vibrate and may prematurely wear steering and suspension components.
• Excessive or uneven tire wear

Tire rotation - can be beneficial in several ways. When done at the recommended times, it can preserve balanced handling and traction of the tires and even out tire wear. It can even provide performance advantages.
When should tires be rotated?

Wheel balancing - When a wheel is unbalanced, there is an unequal distribution of weight around the rim of the wheel and tire assembly. The tire may seem round and true when rotated slowly, but on the road centrifugal force acts on the heaviest part of the tire, making it wobble or vibrate (like an out-of-balance ceiling fan). This can cause flat spots on the tire treads and is damaging to ball joints, bearings, steering, and shock absorbers. With special equipment, technicians can measure a tire and wheel assembly, then add special wheel weights to restore balance. Hitting potholes and normal vehicle wear-and-tear can cause unbalanced wheels. Uneven tire wear can indicate unbalanced wheels, so it's wise to check and rotate your vehicle's tires regularly.

Tips for Tire Life

Rotate your tires regularly (usually every 6,000 to 7,500 miles). Most manufacturers recommend that tires should be rotated on a scheduled basis in order to reap maximum life from your investment.

Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires can lose 1 psi of pressure per month, and more in cold weather. Tires lose an additional 1 psi of pressure for every  drop of 10° Fahrenheit. Low tire pressure not only reduces gas mileage; excessive heat build up leads to tire damage.

Check for signs of excessive or uneven tire wear. Uneven wear could signal other problems. Your expert technicians at master Tire & Auto Service can provide a professional inspection.
