Contact Campus Automotive today to have one of our qualified technicians perform a comprehensive tire inspection to determine the strength of your tires. Regular tire maintenance is one of the best ways to maximize their lifespan and get the most out of them. Proper inflation, rotations, and wheel alignment help tires to wear evenly, preventing premature wear and extending tread life. Caring for your tires can save you money in the long run by reducing the need for replace them early.
You should usually check your air pressure once a month. And when it comes to balancing your tires, the ideal is to do it at least once a year. Now, if you drive long distances or over poor roads, construction areas, potholes or debris, then you'll want to increase that amount to maybe twice a month. When a tire is over-inflated, it wears out the tread faster and is more prone to nails or screws getting stuck in the Tire.
Insufficient tire inflation can lead to premature and irregular tire wear, excessive fuel use, and carries a greater risk of explosive failure (blowout), especially after prolonged high speed operation at high temperatures. The main reason for replacing tires is friction caused by mobile contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of the tires to eventually wear out. If you find that any of your tires are not aligned, it could mean that one or more of your tires support more or less weight than the others. Now that we've looked at air pressure, it's important to remember that tires should be rotated, and tires should generally be rotated every five to 7000 miles.
If you use the trick of the room, keep in mind that you'll want to measure at three points along the center of the tire to make sure you check for wear on the entire surface of the tire and not in one place. If your vehicle's tires are starting to show signs of wear and you need to schedule a tire service appointment, contact Campus Automotive in Blacksburg, Virginia today. The best way to check for tire serviceability is to check air pressure, as that will cause any problems the tire may have. Tire balancing calculates the distribution of weight between tires and is recommended to do it every 3,000 to 6,000 miles.
