Know the Importance of Your Tires

Tires are arguably one of the most important parts of any vehicle. This is because they are what helps your car or truck cling to the road and have enough traction to safely operate. Your car only accelerates, turns and stops because your tires allow it to. Tires also play an important role in gas mileage. When they are improperly inflated they lose fuel efficiency and you end up paying more at the pump. At Meineke #938 in Williamsburg, VA, we service cars while and act as a tire repair shop.

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 #938 in Williamsburg, VA 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. Contact our Williamsburg, VA, and Meineke #938 to schedule a professional inspection of your tires.
