FAQs: Tire Service

How often should you service your tires?

Your tires should be serviced at least once a year, and more often if you frequently drive in harsh weather conditions. Inspect your tires regularly for signs of wear and tear, and make sure to keep them inflated to the proper pressure levels. If you notice any damage or unusual wear patterns, take your car to a certified mechanic or tire specialist for further inspection.

How do you service a tire?

When it comes to servicing a tire, there are a few key steps that you'll need to take to ensure that it is done properly:

1. You'll want to make sure that the tire is inflated to the proper pressure.
2. You'll need to check the tread depth and wear pattern of the tire.
3. You will need to inspect the sidewall of the tire for any damage or signs of wear.

By following these simple steps, you can help extend the life of your tires and keep them performing at their best.

What is the average life of a tire?

Most tires have a lifespan of around 50,000 miles. However, the exact lifespan of a tire depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle driven, driving habits, and road conditions. Some tires may last longer than others, but eventually, all tires will need to be replaced.

When shopping for new tires, be sure to ask about the expected lifespan of the tires you are considering. And if you're unsure how long your current set of tires will last, consult your trusted mechanic or local auto service center. They can inspect your tires and determine if there is adequate remaining tread or if it's time for new tire installation.
