Tire Rotations: A Basic Necessity
Tire rotations are crucial for even wear and for maximizing the lifespan of your tires. Without regular rotations, tires can wear out thousands of miles sooner than expected. Chevy recommends a tire rotation every 7,500 miles. Our skilled technicians at Miles Chevrolet will rotate and balance your tires using the proper pattern to extend their lifespan and ensure better performance.
Other Key Aspects of Tire Care
Taking care of your tires doesn't stop at rotations. Here are a few other essentials:
- Monthly Tire Pressure Checks: Tires naturally lose air over time due to driving and temperature changes. Underinflated tires not only hurt fuel efficiency but also increase the risk of a blowout. If you need assistance checking or adjusting tire pressure, feel free to stop by our Decatur service center, and we'll be happy to help!
- Yearly Wheel Alignment Checks: Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, and even damage to your suspension. If your car pulls to one side or the steering wheel is off-center, it's time to get an alignment check. Make an appointment with us to keep your wheels in check and your ride smooth.
- Avoiding Rough Roads When Possible: While rough roads can't always be avoided, driving cautiously can help. Potholes and uneven surfaces can damage your tires and throw off alignment. Whenever possible, choose smoother routes to preserve your tire health.
- Safe Driving Habits: Aggressive driving, like hard braking and speeding, can cause tires to wear out faster or even blow out due to overheating. Gentle driving will keep your tires-and you-safe.
When It's Time for New Tires
If your tread is looking low, the penny test is a quick way to check if you need a replacement. Place a penny head-down into the tread grooves; if you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time for new tires. Sidewall issues like cracks or bulges are also warning signs. If you notice these, bring your vehicle to our Decatur tire shop for a thorough inspection.
