From tires for the highway to tires for rugged terrain, Lake Ridge Auto Care has what you need. It is important to know the size and speed rating of the tires before you buy replacements. It is best to check your user manual to see what they recommend. This is especially true if you are not the first owner, as the prior owner or dealership may have the wrong size on your car. |
If you know you have the correct size on your vehicle, you can determine the size and rating from the information embossed on the side of tires.
The information may start with a letter or two that identifies the type of vehicle best suited to the tire. For example the letter "P" indicated the tire is appropriate for a passenger car. Selecting proper tires is important as it affects the performance and safety of the vehicle. Just as important as selecting the correct tire is to have the tires installed and balanced by a trained professional. Improper installation and balancing can cause the automobile to pull to one side, shake the steering wheel and cost you more on gas.
Lake Ridge Auto Care provides a full range of tire services, including:
Tire Mounting
Proper mounting of a tire from the wheel calls for special equipment and technician knowledge. Wheels installed with a good fitment will provide the best result should your tire experience rapid deflation as well as ensure good handling and wear. Things change all the time, no longer is it just a matter of putting your newest tires on the front for front wheel drive cars or the rear for rear wheel drive. In today's world often tires are required to rotate in a set direction. Proper installment will ensure proper rotation.
Wheel Alignment
Keeping your vehicle properly aligned helps ensure even tire wear, proper handling and improved fuel economy. This includes a visual inspection of steering and suspension, adjusting the air pressure when necessary, and when applicable, adjusting the alignment angles to factory specifications.
The wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist steering and the other tires. Alignment impacts gas mileage and tire wear. It is pretty obvious that if your tires are pointed in different directions, they will fight against each other and will cause tread wear.
Everyday road shock and general wear and tear can knock your alignment out of spec. When that happens, control of the vehicle may be threatened and tires will begin to wear unevenly and rapidly.
Wheel Balance
Wheel balance refers to the proper distribution of weight around a revolving tire and wheel. Poor wheel balance can have as impact on both your car and your safety.
Tire Pressure Check
Maintaining proper air pressure in your tires helps to ensure proper tire wear as well as fuel economy and vehicle safety. You can find the proper tire pressure for your automobile in your owner's manual or door jamb.
Tire Rotation
To ensure even tire wear it is essential the positions of the tires are regularly rotated. Commonly this should be done with every other oil change, or 6,000 miles. This will help ensure even tire wear resulting in longer tire life and better performance of your vehicle. This is particularly important for front wheel drive vehicles. At Lake Ridge Auto Care we will also evaluate the appropriate rotation scheme for your vehicle..
