For some, routine tire maintenance might seem minuscule compared to other auto services like oil changes and brake inspections. However, this is simply not true. Tires play a huge role in keeping you safe each time you take your new or used car, truck or SUV for a spin. Healthy tires will also help your vehicle run at its best.
At Texas Nissan, your safety is our top priority, which is why we've developed this comprehensive tires guide to help you understand the importance of tire service and tire replacement. Keep reading to learn more.
Tire Maintenance Is Essential
No matter how new or old your Nissan car, truck, SUV or other make/model is, you'll eventually have to get new tires. If your tires are more than five years old, chances are they are ready to be replaced.
If your tires are relatively new, there are many ways you can help extend their life. By having tire rotation performed every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, you'll help your tire tread wear evenly. We also recommend having tires balanced every 3,000 to 6,000. If you tend to speed and/or drive on unpaved roads often, you'll most likely need to have these services performed sooner. An alignment should be done every year.
When to Replace Your Car Tires in Grapevine, Texas
A good place to start is by having your tires inspected during regular oil changes or every 3,000 to 6,000 miles. During this time, our highly-trained service technicians will look at the overall health of your tires. They will look for things like cracks, gouges and bulges in the sidewalls. If a problem is detected, our techs will explain the best way to fix it.
Here are some other signs to help you determine if you might need new tires:
- Vehicle pulls to one side while driving
- Even "wear bars" indicate tread is too low
- Steering wheel vibration
If you're experiencing any of the above symptoms, you'll want to schedule a service appointment right away.
