Tire replacement is a necessary service that any vehicle owner will eventually require, but because replacing your tires isn’t something you’re doing on a regular basis, it’s normal to have questions about the process. Here are a few of the most common questions we get regarding tire replacement.
- When do I need to replace my tires? It’s good to check in on your tires every once in a while, especially as they age. Cracks, tread wear, and bulges are all visible signs that your tires should be looked at by a professional. Another sign of worn down tires is increased vibration when you drive your car. Pay attention to how smooth of a drive you have when operating your vehicle, as this is often an indicator of the state of your tires.
- How do I know what tires to get? The right tires for your car will depend on a number of different factors. The size of your vehicle, the terrain you typically drive on, and your driving habits all play a role in determining what tires are best for your vehicle. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a tire expert when you come see us for tire replacement. We’ll speak with you about how and where you drive and recommend tires for your specific car.
- Can I replace my tires on my own? We strongly discourage you from replacing your tires by yourself. While knowing how to swap out a popped tire with a spare one is a useful and important skill to have, replacing all four tires is a different matter. Improperly installing tires can be a big safety risk, so if you need new tires, come see us here at Kevin’s Car Repair LLC for professional tire replacement.
