Prioritizing Your Safety at Car Care Central
At Car Care Central, the safety of our customers takes precedence above all else. We are dedicated to ensuring that you reach your destination safely and reliably every time you hit the road. One critical area of concern for the vehicles that come through Car Care Central is the condition of their tires.
Your tires serve as your vehicle's only contact point with the road. When they do not perform their role correctly, all the research and safety testing that went into your car's design may not be sufficient to keep you safe. In the sections below, we provide essential information about your tires and how to recognize when it's time for replacements.
The Dangers of Old or Worn Tires
As mentioned earlier, your tires are a crucial component of your car or truck. If you've ever experienced the loss of control while driving, you understand how frightening it can be to feel powerless inside a two-ton metal vehicle.
Driving with tires that are either too old, improperly inflated, out of balance, or unsuitable for current weather conditions can lead to a potentially catastrophic situation during your journey. Your tires were meticulously designed with a specific purpose in mind, and using them improperly can result in sudden and disastrous consequences.
The Importance of Tire Inflation
Detecting low tire pressure is relatively straightforward. If you notice that your tire appears wider where it makes contact with the road, it's a clear sign that it requires more air.
Driving on under-inflated tires accelerates their wear due to uneven sidewall pressure, potentially leading to tire shredding. Moreover, low tire pressure negatively affects your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
On the other hand, excessive air pressure in your tires is also unsafe. While the likelihood of a tire bursting upon hitting a substantial pothole is minimal, overinflation reduces the size of the contact patch, resulting in reduced grip and control over your vehicle. The recommended tire pressure is typically found on the tire's sidewall, making it easy to determine the ideal pressure for your vehicle.
We offer most major brands of tires. These are a few of our preferred brands.
FAQs About New Tires
But Aren't New Tires More Expensive?
While a set of new tires may appear costlier on the day of installation, factoring in Car Care Central promotions or manufacturer rebates often makes the cost of new tires only slightly higher than purchasing used ones. Furthermore, you can't surpass the unparalleled confidence and safety offered by new tires! The cost of new tires also encompasses the manufacturer's warranty, which, in most cases, covers premature tread wear.
Can New Tires Lead to Fuel Savings?
Opting for fuel-efficient tires might make your new tires more budget-friendly than you think. Numerous tire manufacturers are developing new tires that can pay off at the gas pump. If you have a lengthy commute or enjoy traveling, discuss this option with our tire specialists.
Fuel-saving tires still provide dependable traction in rainy weather and a comfortable ride around town. Some manufacturers even claim that fuel-saving tires can save up to 2,600 miles' worth of gas over the lifespan of a tire set.
How Long Do New Tires Typically Last?
On average, new tires have a lifespan of about 3 to 4 years. If treadwear is a concern, consider rugged off-road or on-road terrain tires. Many of these tires are built to provide a smooth ride during leisurely cruising but transform into durable workhorses when it comes to hauling or towing.
How Long After New Tires Should I Get an Alignment?
Replacing tires throws off your car's delicate alignment, impacting handling and tire wear. That's why a post-change alignment, preferably a 4-wheel one, is recommended. Additionally, regular alignments every few years, regardless of tire changes, ensure optimal safety and performance.
