Tires are an essential part of your vehicle. They allow you to be able to get to your destination safely. Therefore, it is always a good idea to get the best quality tires for your vehicle. By having a good set of tires, you lower the chances of getting a flat tire or losing grip of the road. A solid set of tires with the right amount of tread allows you to drive through most road conditions safely. Come to Downtown Automotive in Nelson where our technicians can take a look at your tires and provide the necessary care if needed. To make sure your tires are being used as efficiently as possible and to keep you safe, we recommend coming in for a tire rotation every 6,000-10,000 miles.
Signs that you need your tires repaired or replaced:
If you notice any of these signs, it is important that you bring your vehicle to Downtown Automotive as soon as possible. If you don’t fix any issues with your tires, you risk your safety. With regular driving, tires will eventually start to wear down too. Here are some signs that you should look out for:
- Loss of air pressure in your tires. If there is the inadequate air pressure in your tires, it can cause your tires to blow out.
- The tire pressure warning light on your dashboard is on. This is an indication that there may be a leak in your tires.
- Your tires are bald. Bald tires are a result of excessive wear and tear on your tires. Lack of tread leads to higher chances of punctures and less control over your vehicle.
- Your tires' sidewalls have cracks. There are different reasons why there may be cracks such as wear and age. Once you notice cracks on your tires’ sidewalls, take your vehicle to Downtown Automotive for a thorough inspection.
- You've been driving with a spare tire for a while. Spare tires are only designed to be driven in short distances.
- You have cords showing. This is a clear sign of excessive wear and tear and should be replaced immediately. If you notice cords showing on your tires, take it to Downtown Automotive.
By getting regular rotations on your tires and fixing or replacing them whenever they need to be, you dramatically decrease your risk of getting in an accident or being stranded.
