FAQs - Answers to All Your Tire Service Questions

What are the different types of Tires available?

All-season radial tires are the most common around Fairfield, but our tire shop can find any tires you want.

How do I choose the right tires for my vehicle?

The information on what size tires you need is on the inside of the driver's door and the tires. Finding tires with matching specifications is your best bet for what fits your vehicle for drivers in Norwood.

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?

You should rotate your tires about every 5,000 miles or with every oil change is a good rule for drivers in Springdale.

When Should I replace my tires?

When your tire treads even with the wear bars molded into the valleys, you must replace your tires. It would help if you also had your tires inspected after any damage.

What are the signs that I need new tires?

If you put a penny in the tread and can see the top of Lincoln's head, you need to replace your tires; the tread is too worn down for drivers in Covington. Any clear signs of cracking or bulging also indicate needing new tires.

How do I check my tire pressure?

Using a tire pressure gauge found at nearly any place that sells automotive supplies, press it onto the valve stem. Most air pumps also have a pressure gauge built in.

What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?

Run-flat tires can be used at slow speeds for a short period to help you get to a safer place to change your tire.

What are the benefits of tire balancing and alignment?

Safety is the main reason. Unbalanced tires and misaligned wheels can be dangerous. They cause vibrations that can cause you to drift from your lane and a lot of noise that can be distracting.
