Tires

Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car. They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like antilock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don't have a good grip on the pavement.

As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Car owners still need to replace their tires a few times or more throughout the life of a typical vehicle. Despite advances in longer-lasting tires, actual tread life will vary by car type, tire type (such as all season or high performance), driving aggressiveness, and even road and weather conditions. Proper maintenance and responsible driving can maximize the mileage from a set of tires.

We offer these services to help you prolong the life of your tires:

Tire Inspection

It is recommended that tires, including the spare, be periodically inspected by a tire service professional during routine maintenance intervals such as oil changes and tire rotations. We will inspect the tire tread and sidewalls for irregular tread wear, cracking, scrapes, bulges, cuts, snags, foreign objects or other damage. Minor damage can often to repaired to avoid further tire failure. Tires with excessive cracking on the tread or sidewall(s) should be removed from service. This type of damage is often caused by age and leads to blowouts and the tire debris you may see along roads.

Tire Rotation

Tire rotation is the practice of moving the wheels and tires of an automobile from one position to another, to ensure even tire wear, this extends the useful life of a set of tires. Rotation is important because each tire on a car carries a different amount of weight and drive friction, making them wear at different rates. By rotating them, you basically even out those differences. Your owner's manual will tell you how often to rotate your tires, but as a rule of thumb, it should be done every other oil change or approximately every 10,000 miles.

We Offer Most Major Brands of Tires

At Alberg Auto, we understand that tires are an important part of your car. The quality of tires highly affects the vehicle's performance. Their main purpose of a tire is to provide traction to move and stop your vehicle. For this reason, we only sell new brand name tires. We also offer road hazard warranty and  tire rotation service with most new sets of tires we sell to ensure you are getting the best value, fuel economy, and life from your tires.

Once a need for new tires arrises, it is necessary to identify the best tires for your vehicle and driving demands. Look for tires that do well in tests for braking, handling, and resistance to hydroplaning. Winter traction is also a major consideration in our location. Let tread wear, ride comfort, noise, and rolling resistance be tiebreakers in your decision.  We are happy to help you make this decision, call, text, email or stop in for assistance.
