What are the different types of Tires available?
The most common tires are all-season radials, found on most passenger cars and crossovers in Mason. Trucks and large SUVs tend to get truck-specific tires.
How do I choose the right tires for my vehicle?
The first step to finding the right tires is to look at the side wall or inside your driver's door. All the information you need is there, assuming you have stock wheels.
What do the numbers on the sidewall mean?
The series of numbers and letters on your tire indicate the type of tire and the size. You commonly see a P for passengers, although LT for light trucks is also common. The number next to the P is 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. Rarely you'll see D for diagonal or B for belted, but these are specialty tires. 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. Speed rating can vary from A being the lowest to Y being the highest.
How often should I rotate my tires?
At least with every oil change or when uneven wear is observed.
When Should I replace my tires?
Drivers from Lebanon should replace their tires when the tread is less than 1/16th of an inch or there is obvious damage.
What are the signs that I need new tires?
When the tread is too worn or there is bulging or cracks on the tire.
How do I check my tire pressure?
You can check by placing a tire pressure gage against the valve stem, that is, the small black tube coming out of the rim.
What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?
Run-flat tires either have reinforced sidewalls or a hard insert that allows the tire to be driven on at low speed in the case of a puncture.
What are the benefits of tire balancing and alignment?
Balancing your tires and aligning your wheels keep your tires wearing evenly so you have to replace them less often. It also reduces vibrations, prolonging the life of other parts of your car. Balancing your tires and aligning your wheels also makes for a quieter drive. Balanced tires and aligned wheels also improve handling and fuel economy. All of these combined to make for a safer driving experience.
