The Importance of Functional Tires

Keeping your tires in optimal condition is important for a myriad of reasons. First of all, well-maintained tires handle better on slick and uneven surfaces. Their ability to handle these surfaces means that you and your passengers are less likely to be involved in a collision. Tires also have a significant impact on your suspension system, and if they are not rotated periodically, you may have difficulty steering your vehicle. Tires are frequently overlooked by drivers, but the better your tires perform, the better your entire vehicle will perform.

What Are The Signs Telling You Tire Repair Is Needed?

Uneven tread heights and issues with vehicle stability at high speeds could each be a sign that you're in need of a tire repair or tire change service. However, these signs are often easy to miss. Fortunately, you vehicle will often tell you when its tires need some TLC through your in-dash tire pressure light. If and when it turns on, you should immediately stop and see which of your tires is over or underinflated. If the sensor continues to illuminate even after adding air to the tire, taking it into Meineke #287 in Philadelphia, PA may help you avoid a high tire replacement cost.

Consequences of Poor Maintenance

Neglecting to inspect or replace your tires can be dangerous in the long-run. If your tires are worn down, you may have difficulties handling your vehicle during adverse weather. Sleet, rain, and ice can easily send a vehicle with little tread spinning. During rainstorms, your vehicle will be more susceptible to hydroplaning, and you may experience longer stopping times and distances. Both of these issues have the potential to cause severe injury to drivers and passengers. Naturally, we want to help you avoid such situations.
