How Are Your Tires Made?

Have you ever taken a moment to think about how your vehicle's tires are made? Probably not, yet doing so may help you better understand what goes into our tire repair service. More than just a few inches of thick rubber, your tires are actually made from layer after layer of fabric cords called plies. These plies sit atop steel belts that help to reinforce both the sidewall and the treads, which is formed from several layers of synthetic rubber. Steel cable loops called beads give the tire the strength needed to stay seated on the rim. Once those components are placed together, they are run through a curing machine which cuts the tread pattern and bonds all the components together. To learn more about tires, including tire repair cost, visit Meineke #1659 in Clearwater, FL today.

Why Your Tires Matter

Tires are one of the most essential parts of your vehicle. They act as the only point of contact between your vehicle and the roadway, so they are vital for proper safety. They can also significantly impact how well your vehicle performs. If you fail to take your vehicle in for a scheduled tire change service, you could be increasing the wear on your vehicle and lessening the lifetime of connected components. You may also be putting yourself, your vehicle's occupants and others on the roadway in danger. As tread wears down on a tire, it does not maintain as much traction, which could cause your car or truck to lose control on the road. Stop by Meineke #1659 in Clearwater, FL to learn about a tire rotation service to prolong the life of your tires.

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 #1659 in Clearwater, FL may help you avoid a high tire replacement cost. Be sure to check and see if you also need a tire pressure sensor replacement while you're there.

What Happens If You Avoid Repairing Your Tires?

Have you ever noticed how well your vehicle's different component systems work together? Unfortunately, they tend to deteriorate together, as well. You'd be amazed at how trying to avoid a simple tire repair cost can result in extensive damage to your vehicle. That's because unbalanced tires lead to increased wear on certain wheels as they try to support extra weight. Not only does this speed up their wear, but it also can affect your vehicle's suspension as it tries to compensate for this imbalance. Rather than allowing this to happen, research your "tire repair near me" options to find Meineke #1659 in Clearwater, FL.
