subject: Tire Service Anoka Mn: 3 Tips To Prevent Tire Repair [print this page] Taking care of your tires with regular tire service is an investment in your vehicle. However, they remain one of the most overlooked of all a vehicles components. A routine monthly tire service is the best way to prevent a costly tire repair, or possibly even more extensive damage to your car from occurring. More importantly, it enhances the safety of you and your passengers.
3 Tire Service Tips:
* Check air pressure. Take care of under-inflated tires immediately as the resistance generates heat through friction, causing damage, resulting in a necessary tire repair. Check the spare at the same time and keep it in good condition so that you wont be stranded by the side of the road with a flat, avoiding an inconvenient and costly tire repair.
* Check tread depth. Good tread depth ensures better traction. When you place the edge of a penny upside down in the grooves and you can see all of Lincolns head, its time for a tire replacement. Is the inside groove and the outside edge wearing evenly? If not, your car may be out of alignment. Do you feel your steering wheel vibrating? Your tire may need its balance weight restored, or you may need a wheel alignment to improve the overall ride and handling of your vehicle.
* Rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. This will ensure that all four are wearing at the same rate. If there are signs of excessive wear and tear, its best to have all four replaced at the same time. At the very least, purchase either the two front ones, or the two back ones at the same time. Consider the climate where you live and the purpose of your vehicle to determine the right type to purchase for your car or truck.
