Tires

Cleveland Tire Services

Your vehicle’s tires are what connects it to the road and are a critical component of vehicle suspension systems. They transmit the forces of steering, driving and brake to the roads. Tires are easy to maintain, but they often go unnoticed. Your tires’ air pressure and design can have a significant impact on vehicle performance and tire life. To get the best out of your tires, you need to maintain them by maximizing tread wear and mileage. AutoCheck techs can help you to understand basic tire maintenance and care, such as when and how often you need to rotate, balance, align, and replace your tires. 

There are many reasons to be diligent about regular tire maintenance such as avoiding poor tire rotation and tire inflation that can lead to premature tire wear. Some symptoms such as excessive tire wear can be relieved by wheel balancing or alignment issues. Our team can diagnose if a rotation or tire balancing service is necessary to solve the current issues. Our team will ensure that the tire manufacturer’s recommended inflation levels are met when installing new tires. Tire service promotes greater fuel economy and a longer life span for your tires.

We can install new tires if yours are old or worn. Tires that are worn out heat up faster, puncture easily, and perform poorly in various weather and traffic conditions on the roads. These tires can also pose a danger to the driver or other drivers. Worn tires don’t have to be the reason you need new tires. It may make sense to replace your existing tires, depending on the environment you live in and your needs such as heavy snow or if you want to tow a heavy load. Tires that don’t fit your requirements can rapidly cause them to deteriorate or lead to car handling issues. Our expert team is available to help you find the perfect tire. Let us know if you are ready to purchase or install new tires.

Computerized Wheel Balancing

Different weight discrepancies can lead to problems for motorists. You may feel vibrations inside your car, hear your wheels squeal, or your vehicle pull in one direction. This could be a sign that your wheel and tire assemblies need to be rebalanced. Computerized wheel balancers are used to determine the weight difference within a wheel and tire assembly. Our experts will place your wheel onto the wheel balancer and then spin it. Based on the data from the computerized wheel balance equipment, the service personnel will add weight to areas that are indicated to reduce vibrations and make the whole assembly move more smoothly. You will enjoy a smoother ride and better control with properly balanced tires and wheels.

Tire Rotation

To prevent uneven tread wear, it is recommended to rotate your tires. Uneven tread wear is common since vehicle weight is unevenly distributed. Rotating your tires will distribute wear better and reduce the frequency of replacing tires. Routine and professional tire rotations can increase your fuel mileage as well. The tire rotation service involves positioning the tires of vehicles to decrease tread differentiation. Because each tire is subject to different types of stress, the tread wear on tires can vary. Drivers can distribute uneven tread wear by rotating their tires in accordance with tire rotation patterns. The tire rotation patterns may differ depending on what type of car a driver drives, and which type of tires they have. Our team will follow the rotation pattern best for your vehicle and tires.

Tire Repair

A sharp nail or other pointy object can puncture tires. Flat tires can be dangerous so motorists should not drive them unless they are absolutely necessary. It’s more likely that they will need to have it repaired. Riding on a flat-tired vehicle for too long could cause permanent damage to the tire rim. Tire repair can be very time-sensitive. You can save your tire if you bring it in as soon as possible. A tire that is damaged can be extended by adding a plug or a patch to the tire or replacing a leaky valve. Please note, not every tire can be saved as the RMA guidelines indicate that a puncture of 1/4 inches or less can be fixed on a flat tire. Our team can repair, patch or seal a punctured tire.
