Seasonal Tire Changeovers
Certain types of tires are designed to excel during certain seasons, which often makes them poor choices for other times of the year. Winter tires, for example, are perfect for winter weather because they stay flexible in the cold thanks to their softer rubber, and they have deeper, wider tread patterns to help them gain traction on snowy roads. These traits make them unfit for warmer weather because they wear out quickly. Similarly, summer tires have harder rubber and smoother tread patterns that help to improve performance on warm, dry roads, but they fare poorly in wintry conditions.
Our tire changeover service makes it easy to equip your car with the right tires for the season so that you can enjoy a safer, smoother ride and help your tires last longer so that they're in good shape for next season. Schedule a seasonal tire changeover today to prepare your car for whatever the changing weather might have in store around Troy and Schenectady, NY.
Tire Rotations
Tire rotations help your tires wear evenly, which helps them last longer overall. Thus, scheduling regular tire rotations roughly every six months or every 6,000 miles (whichever comes first) is a key part of improving the longevity of your tires. During a tire rotation, we remove the tires from your car and put them back in different positions, often swapping the front tires with the rear tires. This helps your tires last longer by promoting even wear and tear across all four tires.
How to Tell When You Need New Tires
There are a few ways to determine whether you need new tires. The first is to gauge condition and tread depth. If your tires show signs of damage or excessive wear and tear, you should replace them. You can check tire tread depth with the coin test or by checking the tire wear indicators on your tires, which are small bars that appear on tires when they are worn down to the lowest safety point. Another thing to keep in mind is tire age. Tires typically need to be replaced every six years or so, even if they appear to have good tread.
