Tires are literally where the rubber meets the road and they’re crucial for several reasons:
- Safety: Proper tread depth and inflation are essential for maintaining grip, especially in wet or slippery conditions, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Handling and Performance: Tires impact how your vehicle handles, accelerates, and stops. The right tires for your driving conditions (e.g., all-season, winter, or performance tires) enhance stability and control.
- Fuel Efficiency: Well-maintained tires can improve fuel economy. Properly inflated and aligned tires allow your vehicle to use fuel more efficiently.
- Heat Dissipation: Tires are designed to dissipate heat generated from friction. Overheating can lead to tire failure, making it vital to monitor tire condition.
To ensure that you and your family are safe on the road, Scott’s Automotive & Tire is selling Tires At Cost!
How do you know when you need tires?
When you come in to Scott’s Automotive & Tire for your regular maintenance, our technicians will perform a full digital safety and reliability inspection on your vehicle and share their findings with you via email or text. They will include photos if any recommendations are made.
- Tread Wear: We recommend replacing tires when the tread depth is 4/32 of an inch or less. While some say you can go until 2/32, the less tread you have creates more safety concerns.
- Seasonal Changes/Extreme Climates: If you live in an area with harsh winters, consider switching to winter tires before the first snowfall. If you live in a warmer climate, heat will cause rubber degradation and potential blowouts.
- Age of Tires: Even if tread depth is adequate, tires should generally be replaced every six years, as rubber can degrade over time.
- Performance Issues: If you notice issues like vibration, pulling, or decreased handling, it may be time to check your tires.
