Service Your Wheels and Tires at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria
Wheels and tire maintenance are an important aspect to keep your vehicle in good operating condition. Worn tires and misaligned wheels can have a significant impact on steering, stopping, and vehicle control. Wheels and alignment should be inspected regularly and adjusted whenever necessary, and tires should be inspected, rotated, and replaced when worn or otherwise damaged. Follow your manufacturer's recommended service schedule to ensure that your wheels and tires will perform well on the road.
Wheel alignment is an important factor in making sure your vehicle steers safely and easily. A vehcile that has wheels out of alignment will develop uneven tread wear on the tires, and may be more difficult to steer because the steering could "pull" to the left or right. Thus, proper wheel alignment according to the manufacturer's speficiations means maximizing the life of your tires as well as keeping you driving safely.
Tire tread keeps your vehicle in contact with the road while the tread grooves channel water away to improve traction. Tread depth is a key measure of tire performance and safety. Tires with tread depth worn down to less than manufacturer specification should be replaced. Tires with uneven wear should be rotated to maximize tire life, and wheel alignment should be inspected and adjusted if needed. Uneven wear might also indicate an alignment issue.
Wheels that are proplerly mounted, balanced, and aligned with fully inflated tires and good tread depth will help keep your car safe and economical by providing increased traction, better steering, and optimum fuel efficiency.
