U.S. Automotive—Professional Tire Care
How to Care for Your Tires
Tires are straightforward on the surface. They are made of rubber and filled with air, contributing both to your car’s ability to maintain traction on the road and the overall smoothness of your ride. Regular tire maintenance, along with preventative measures like keeping proper air pressure and performing visual inspections, will ensure the longevity of your tires and your vehicle. When the time comes to service or replace your tires, U.S. Automotive in Ozark, Missouri, will be happy to help with our professional tire sales and service. Routine tire maintenance includes items like tire rotations, which help promote a more even wear pattern among all four tires, and tire balances. A tire balance ensures the tire is positioned properly in the wheelhouse; if out of balance, wobbling, hopping up and down, and vibration happens. Inadequate inflation levels can lead to many problems, such as loss of traction, a decrease in handling, and a higher probability of a blowout. Our tire sales and service technicians recommend keeping an eye on your air pressure levels and ensuring each tire is inflated to the manufacturer-recommended PSI.

Is It Time for New Tires?
How can you tell if it’s time to visit for new tire replacements? Most drivers don’t give a thought to their tires unless a flat or a warning on their car’s display alerts them to a problem. Regular maintenance can significantly prolong the life of your tires, but they do need to be replaced eventually. Due to the natural wear cycle of tires, experts recommend changing them at the five- or six-year mark. If the tread depth falls below 1/16 inch, replacement is needed. There are situations where tires may need to be replaced sooner, however. For example, if your tires lose pressure frequently, or if they have visible damage—especially to the sidewalls—your tires should be thoroughly examined by one of our tire sales and service experts. Sidewall damage severely compromises the tire’s integrity by making it weaker and more prone to blowing out. Sometimes, there can be symptoms of bad tires not even related to the tire: a drop in fuel economy, poor steering/handling, longer stopping distances, and acceleration. Tires in poor condition render you and your vehicle unsafe, and it’s simply not worth taking your chances on the road.
