Best Place To Buy Tires in Avon Ohio

figuring out when you need new tires

Bad tires can make your vehicle difficult to drive or create a driving hazard, because balding or misaligned tires will slip in certain weather conditions. In addition, if your tires are not properly inflated, by being under or over inflated, your ties can wear down prematurely which will require a new set of tires. Even without premature wear, tires need to be replaced a few times during the span of your car's life.

It's important to check your tires at least once a month to see signs of advanced wearing on the inner and outer side of the tires, or if one side of the tire is wearing faster than the other. If you notice either of these premature conditions, then you should consider purchasing new set of tires from our shop.

Some tires have wear-indicators that will notify you that it is time for a new set of tires. If you do not have these indicators, you can use the penny test to determine if your tires are good. This test requires you to insert a penny into a tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, then you need new tires.

Of course, the best way to ensure that your tires are safe to drive on is to visit our shop once a month so that we can properly inspect them for you.

What do those numbers on your tires represent?

The numbers in the tire size refer to its width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter. "185/75R14" means the tire is 185 mm wide, has an aspect ratio (that is, the width divided by the height) of 75%, and fits on a 14" rim.

"R" means radial tire. They're all radials nowadays. Speed ratings are usually inserted before the "R." The most common speed ratings are HR (good for 130mph), VR (149 mph), and ZR (more than 149 mph).

5 Signs You Need New Tires

Checking a car's tires for wear and tear

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), tire failure causes around 11,000 car crashes each year. The NHTSA recommend doing a quick tire inspection once a month.

Here's What To Look For:
 

1. Bulges, gouges or cracks
   When a tire deflates, it bulges at the sides. This is a sign of low tire pressure or a slow air leak. If you see cracks in the sidewall, gouges or anything that looks odd, bring your vehicle into Automotive Specialty Services in Avon Ohio and have us take a look at it.
2. Tread wear
   The old-school penny test is one way to check your treads: Place a penny into the tread, with Lincoln's head pointing down. If you can still see the top of his noggin, the tread is dangerously low. Most modern tires, however, have wear bars: bits of rubber woven into the pattern at a specific depth. You can find the wear bars that go across the groove, and if the tread pattern is worn down to that wear bar, you need to replace your tire.
3. Tire pressure
   Tires deflate at a rate of about one pound per square inch (PSI) per month. You're not going to wear your tires down in a month, but you should check that you have the right inflation pressure.
4. Temperature
   Tire pressure drops in extreme cold. The challenge in summer, is excessive heat buildup in the tire. If you're heading out on a road trip with an under inflated tire, it will generate more heat and wear out faster.
5. Vibration
   Watch out for vibration or thumping when you're driving. If it feels like it's coming from under the seats, the rear tires may be out of balance. Vibration from the steering wheel could indicate suspension issues. Anything less than a smooth ride means you should take your car to Automotive Specialty Services in Avon Ohio.

When it's time to replace your tires, it is recommended doing so in pairs or all four at a time for better performance and traction and, ultimately, a safer ride.
