Tires are one of the most important safety features of your vehicle. They serve as the sole connection between your car and the road. Safety technologies such as anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control are rendered ineffective if the tires lack a firm grip on the pavement.

Tire rotation involves moving an automobile's wheels and tires from one position to another, assuring even tire wear and prolonging the lifespan of the tire set. This is crucial because individual tires bear varying amounts of weight, causing them to wear at different rates. Rotation essentially balances out these differences. Consult your vehicle's manual for the recommended frequency for tire rotation, but typically, it's advisable to do it every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. Learn more about tire rotation here.

What does tire balancing do?
Tire balancing, also known as wheel balancing, identifies uneven tire rolling caused by irregular weight distribution and rectifies the issue by placing weights to specific sections of the wheel.
The tire balancing procedure consists of these five steps:
Remove the tire from the vehicle.
Place the tire on a balancing machine.
Spin the tire to identify where weight imbalances exist and to determine where to attach counterweights.
Apply clip-on or adhesive counterweights to the wheel.
Reinstall the tire.
The majority of tire failures occur due to underinflated tires. By closely monitoring your tire inflation levels, you can optimize your tires' performance. Our technicians can inspect your tire pressures and maintain your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). When functioning correctly, this system monitors the air pressure in your tires and will notify you through a dashboard light if your tires require attention.
