Tires are the critical connection between your car and the road in all sorts of driving conditions. If you’re concerned about the condition of your tires, bring your vehicle into the Mufflerman for our tire repair services.
The Mufflerman offers storage services for all of your seasonal tires, see one of our stores for details and prices.
You should check at least once a month, and don’t forget to check the spare, too.
You should really replace all four tires at once to keep wear consistent.
You should have the suspension and the balance of your tires looked at, something’s not right but we can help you figure it out.
How can I tell if I need new tires? It may simply be road noise you are hearing, but since the tires are your only contact point with the road – they’re an important safety aspect of your vehicle. Have a look at the tread on the tire: If the tire wear is uneven, cracked or bulging, if you notice the tread pulling away from the body of the tire, or if your tread doesn’t pass the “penny test”, you should look into purchasing a new set of tires.
Your tires may be over or under inflated. Take a look, and if that isn’t the problem, bring the car in to see us and we will help you out.
As long as the tire was repaired professionally and up to standards, you’re good to go.
Snow tires are manufactured to handle harsh winter weather better than all-weather tires. It is easier to drive on an incline, on ice, and to make unexpected stops. The decision to drive on all-weather tires is yours but we always recommend winter tires where possible.
Uneven tire wear happens when there is too much or too little pressure, there are alignment problems, balancing problems, or problems with the steering or suspension system. Let us have a look at the car before you replace your tires to make sure the next ones last longer. After all, we offer a wide variety of vehicle services in addition to our tire repair services.
To maximize tire life and safety, check tire pressure and inflation pressure regularly and have the tires rotated and balanced. Tire replacement may be necessary if the tread depth is below the legal minimum requirement, or the sidewalls are severely cracked or punctured. In some cases, tread punctures cannot be repaired.
