TIRE SERVICE CHECK

TIRE SERVICE CHECK

What we inspect

• Tire condition: tread depth, uneven wear, cuts, bulges, sidewall damage

• Tread depth measurement at four points per tire; compare with legal/safe limits

• Tire pressure: check and adjust to manufacturer-specified PSI (including spare)

• Tire age: inspect DOT code and recommend replacement if 6–10 years old or earlier if damaged

• Valve stems: inspect for leaks, corrosion, and proper caps

• Wheel balance: test and identify wheel weights needed to correct vibration

• Tire rotation: assess pattern and rotation interval to promote even wear

• Alignment indicators: check toe, camber, and visible steering/suspension signs that affect tire wear

• TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System): test sensor function and battery/status

• Lug nuts: check torque to factory specifications

• Road test: confirm ride quality, handling, and verify any reported vibration or pulling

When we recommend replacement

• Tread depth at or below 2/32" (legal minimum) — immediate replacement

• Uneven or rapid wear indicating suspension/alignment issues — replace and repair underlying cause

• Sidewall cuts, bulges, or exposed cords — immediate replacement

• Tire age over manufacturer guidance (commonly 6–10 years) regardless of tread

• Repeated punctures or unsuccessful repair history — replacement recommended

What to expect during your appointment

• Inspection and diagnostic check (typically 20–40 minutes)

• Clear explanation of findings and recommended services before any work

• Cost estimate for parts and labor for approved repairs/replacements

• Same-day service for most routine tire needs; longer for alignment or special-order tires

Safety and maintenance tips

• Check tire pressure monthly and before long trips

• Inspect tires visually for cuts, punctures, or odd wear

• Rotate tires every 5,000–7,500 miles or per vehicle manufacturer recommendation

• Maintain proper alignment and suspension to prolong tire life

• Replace tires in axle pairs (both front or both rear) to preserve handling stability, especially on AWD vehicles

• Keep a properly inflated spare and ensure jack and tools are present
