What are the different types of Tires available?
There are many different tires; the most common for most drivers in Cincinnati are all-season, all-terrain, summer, and snow tires.
How do I choose the right tires for my vehicle?
The right tires for your vehicle depend on a few factors. Most passenger vehicles in Centerville only need all-season tires. Performance vehicles may want to swap between summer and snow tires.
What do the numbers on the sidewall mean?
The series of numbers and letters on your tire indicate the type and size of your tire. A P for passengers is common, although LT for light trucks also exists. The next few numbers are the tire's width in millimeters. The next two numbers are the aspect ratio of the sidewall height to the width. Next, you'll see an R for radial, the construction used to make the tire. Next is the rim size in inches. After that is the load rating; the larger the number (up to 125), the more load the tires can take. Finally, the speed rating is T, which is most common with a speed rating of up to 130 mph.
How often should I rotate my tires?
It is recommended to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every oil change for drivers in Fairborn.
When Should I replace my tires?
You should replace your tires when there are signs of excessive wear or clear damage like bulging or cracking.
What are the signs that I need new tires?
If there is less than 1/16th of an inch left of the tread. Your tire has wear indicators molded into the valley on the tread; when those meet the tread, you need new tires in Springfield.
How do I check my tire pressure?
Using a tire gauge, you simply press it against the valve stem, the same thing you use to fill your tires with air.
What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?
Run-flat tires are designed to maintain some structure with low air pressure, allowing you to drive a short distance.
What are the benefits of tire balancing and alignment?
Properly balanced and aligned wheels offer better fuel mileage, less wear on tires, and a quieter, smoother ride.
