Tire Replacement in Washington Court House, OH at Gordon CDJR

The tires on your car play an important role in helping the vehicle stop and turn. Thus, it is important that the vehicle’s tires are in safe, proper working condition. But when should you replace the tires?

Why Tire Replacement is Important

The performance of vehicle safety systems, from brakes to complex electronic crash avoidance technologies, ultimately depend on how quickly the car can stop. The condition of the vehicle’s tires, especially at the point where the tire touches the road surface, is a central component in determining braking performance. If the tire is too old and smooth, the vehicle cannot stop as quickly and the risk of a crash is heightened.

When You Should Get Tire Replacement

In many US states, drivers whose tires have a tread depth of less than 2/32’’ risk getting fined by law enforcement. Drivers should check the tread depth on their vehicle’s tires every month and replace the tires before the tread gets too low. To be safe, drivers should start thinking about replacing their tires once the tread depth gets to 4/32’’.

Remember to have the spare tire replaced every ten years if it is not included in a regular tire rotation.

Cost of Tire Replacement

The cost of a tire replacement can vary widely with tire type, from $50 to over $100 per tire. Labor and disposal fees can add as much as $50 per tire to the final service cost. However, prices are highly dependent. At Gordon CDJR, we offer valuable servicespecials to help drivers save money on key vehicle repairs. Our offerings change frequently, so check back often!

Questions to Ask Your Service Technician

If the tires are being replaced due to uneven wear patterns, drivers should ask the service technician about conducting an alignment or suspension inspection along with the tire change. Also, drivers should ask if tire rotation or balancing is included with the replacement service.

Signs of a Quality Tire Replacement

Tires should be replaced with new tires of the same type and size that fit the vehicle. We suggest that drivers have all four tires replaced at the same time to ensure the tire surface is as even as possible. If only two tires are being replaced, the new ones should be on the same axle.

Caring for Your Vehicle After Tire Replacement

The best way to ensure your new tires keep you safe as long as possible is to check the tread depth, wear patterns and inflation monthly
