What Damages Your Tires?
The fusion of technology and long-term production has made modern-day tires stronger and better lasting. But at the end of the day, tires are still prone to damage, wear and tear and cracks. Let us look at some causes of tire damage:
Varying the inflation pressure: Maintaining accurate inflation pressure guarantees your tire’s performance as the air within the tire carries the load, not vice-versa. Remember, the inflation pressure should be just right, not more, not less.
Tire misalignment: Misalignment of your tires can cause the tires to vibrate and cause damage to the outer side of the tire. Getting your wheel alignment checked with our reliable auto repair mechanics ensures that you enjoy a smooth ride.
Long-term wear and tear: Driving on roads and uneven terrain impacts your tires, and over time you can notice cracks in them. Always get your tires checked and maintained by skilled auto technicians like us who have expertise in automotive and diagnostics and services.
Is Your Tire Worn Out?
The lifespan of a tire depends upon various factors. But signs of tire damage and slight wear and tear are easy to identify. Here are a few tips to find out if your tire is worn out:
6
-
Get the feel of the tire while you drive. Having a rough ride, vibrations or disturbances while you drive are clear signs of damaged tires.
-
Inspect tire for damaged valves, uneven tread wear and other damaged areas.
-
The tire tread is worn beyond the recommended tread depth levels.
What You Can Do Yourself
Before you decide it's time to bring your car to the shop for a tire repair, you can go ahead and check your vehicle manual for the recommended tire pressure. Check the tires for the pressure and see if it's within the preferable range. Make sure to do this at least once a month and don't overinflate or let your tires underinflate for your own safety.
So, how do you get around to it? It's easy to do:

-
Take the cover off the valve
-
