The condition of your tires is crucial to your vehicle's safety. Tire maintenance can reduce the risk of flats and damage while extending tread life and improving fuel efficiency. A flat tire can be very dangerous at highway speeds. Often the cause is simple, like improper tire pressure. A mechanic will visually inspect the tire before patching or replacing it.

All season tires

All-season tires offer great traction and comfort for the majority of driving conditions. If you live in a region with light winter snow or just want a comfortable tire that can handle a wide variety of weather conditions, all-season tires are a good fit for you. All-season tires feature tread patterns and rubber compounds designed to manage a wide range of climate and road conditions. However, if you drive in regions with heavy winter snow, you may be better off with a winter tire. If you choose to go with all-season tires, remember that they need to be inflated correctly in order to perform at their best. Under-inflated tires can cause uneven tire wear and increase your risk of a flat. Tires with low air pressure can also diminish traction and reduce fuel efficiency. You can do this by using a tire gauge and following the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.

Winter tires

Winter tires offer superior traction and control in freezing temperatures, on snowy highways, or even on icy streets. the tread pattern to the chemical composition of the rubber, these tires are designed for harsh cold weather conditions. Aside from adjusting driving behavior (driving slower, allowing greater distance between vehicles) there are two good reasons to put on winter tires, If you live in a region where it regularly snows or the roads are often covered in ice and slush in the winter a set of winter tires is highly recommended. This is normal and your vehicle will recalibrate this over time with moderate-torque straight-line accelerations. Having your tires rotated, aligned, and balanced when switching to winter tires is also important for their performance. This will help ensure the proper manufacturer settings and that the tire pressure remains stable throughout the season.

Summer tires

Summer tires are the preferred choice of many sports car owners who enjoy the increased traction and handling performance offered by softer rubber compounds. It is important to remember that these tires are unsuitable for winter conditions, as the soft rubber can quickly wear down and lose its grip in cold temperatures. When driving on a set of summer tires, it is recommended that you keep the pressure at or slightly below the maximum pressure indicated on your tire's sidewall. This will help maintain a balance between performance and tire life. It is also recommended that you swap your summer tires for a set of winter tires once the temperatures drop consistently below 45 degrees. Failure to do so can result in uneven tread wear for your entire set of tires, requiring replacement much sooner than you may have originally intended. Additionally, it can be very dangerous to drive on an under-inflated or over-inflated tire.

Truck tires

Truck tires have specific requirements due to the harsh operating environment. The stop-and-go of last-mile delivery fleets puts heavy demands on tires, making them earn their keep by providing great traction and durability. Regular rotations help even out tread wear and prevent premature failure. Truck tire specifications provide more information than you might think in their alpha-numeric code on the side of the tire. Identifying your tires' load range and speed rating is essential. Load ranges indicate the maximum weight a tire can carry, while a speed rating tells you how fast it's safe to drive with the load in place. Correctly inflating your truck tires is also important to maximize performance. Always follow your truck manufacturer's recommendations when selecting a target tire pressure. Inflating a tire to the maximum load range can damage the sidewall, and inflating a lower pressure can reduce the contact patch area and result in an uncomfortable ride.
