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 #951 in Worcester, MA today.

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. Stop by our Worcester, MA, Meineke #951 store for a comprehensive inspection today.

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 #951 in Worcester, MA 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.

Have you ever noticed how well your vehicle's different component systems work together? Unfortunately, they tend to deteriorate together, as well.
