Tire maintenance is essential for your Chevy, as worn or damaged tires are a major contributor to accidents. Statistics from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) show that over 30,000 accidents occur every year in the US due to tire-related issues. As your Chevy dealer, we want to tell you some signs that you need to visit us for new tires.
Tire Maintenance: Signs You Need New Tires From Your Chevy Dealer
Cracked Tires
Modern tires are manufactured from high-quality rubber and have special metal and polymer reinforcement for added strength. They have a longer life than ever before, but they will slowly break down. Environmental factors like water, mud, and even sunlight damage your tires. In addition, older rubber loses flexibility and this causes cracks in your tires.
Cracks will widen and deepen as the rubber heats up when you drive and then cools down again when you stop. Gradually, the cracks will reach deep into the tires, making leaks or blowouts more likely. Our technicians will examine your tires and can advise on their potential remaining life. If your tires show deep cracks that compromise their structure, we can replace them.
Misaligned Tires
Tires wear down due to friction, as we’ve seen, and each tire position also causes specific wear patterns. In addition, incorrect tire alignment will produce further damage. Tire alignment is the angle of your tires, and this can vary from perpendicular to the ground to leaning inward or outward when viewed from above and from the front.
The correct alignment is determined by the designers and engineers to provide the best performance possible for your model. When your Chevy is new, its tire alignment is perfect. As time passes, alignment can change due to rough road conditions or accidents. This increases tire damage and reduces their lifespan. We fix this problem by connecting your wheels to our alignment machine, which adjusts each wheel to its correct alignment again.
Low Tread
The tread is the raised pattern on the section of a tire that’s in contact with the surface. It’s designed to grip the surface to provide traction while driving and to assist in braking. Since the tread is exposed to constant friction, it’s reinforced with steel and polymer bands beneath its surface. Tread slowly wears down, which increases stopping distance and affects vehicle handling.
Severely worn tread becomes almost smooth, creating a bald tire. This type of tire is dangerous to drive on and is also illegal. It provides no grip on the surface and can also skid if it moves over water or mud. Our technicians will examine your tires, and we can quickly replace and balance any damaged tires.
