Goodyear's offer of tires as a service can help save time and improve total cost of ownership by outsourcing tire management on a subscription basis. Taking time to care for your car can take a long time, but it's essential to keep costs low, stay safe and get the most out of your vehicle for the thousands of miles left to go. Tire service is one of the basic ways to ensure proper care for your car. But what are all the aspects involved in routine tire maintenance? Let's take a look. Tire balancing calculates the weight distribution between tires and is recommended every 3,000 to 6,000 miles.
If you find that any of your tires are not aligned, it may mean that one or more of your tires support more or less weight than the others. The best way to check for tire serviceability is to check air pressure, as that will cause any problems the tire may have. Insufficient tire inflation can lead to premature and irregular tire wear and excessive fuel use, and carries a greater risk of explosive failure (blowout), especially after prolonged operation at high speed at high temperatures. The primary reason for replacing tires is friction caused by moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of the tires to eventually wear out.
When a tire is over-inflated, the tread wears out faster and is more prone to snagging with nails or screws in the tire. If your vehicle's tires are starting to show signs of wear and you need to schedule an appointment for tire service, contact Campus Automotive in Blacksburg today, Virginia.
