Tire FAQ's
You’ll need new tires if the Tread Wear Indicators at three or more places around the tire can be seen. We recommend that the tires be inspected for signs of wear or damage at least once a month, and that vehicle owners seek professional service if the following are found:
- Cracks in tire tread or sidewalls
- Cuts in tires that reveal cord or fabric
- Bumps, bulges or splits in tires
- Punctures in tires
- Any other irreparable damage
An underinflated tire can result in overloading and overheating, blowouts, excessive tire wear, poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Overinflated tires also can result in excessive tire wear
Each tire on a vehicle performs a different task, causing them to wear at different rates. Regular tire rotation allows tires to wear evenly, optimizing tire life and allowing tires to be replaced in sets of four, which is preferable.
Our Certified Service experts at Swickard GMC of Palmer can recommend tires that are right for your vehicle, your driving habits and your budget.
