Tire Services

With every revolution, a tire runs the risk of being punctured by an external object. Since the average tire will experience millions of revolutions throughout its lifespan, it is usually a matter of when you get a flat, not if. Therefore, knowing the difference between proper and improper tire repair could be critical to your safety.

Do you have a flat tire? Come in today for our tire repair service.

Tire inspections and repairs should be done regularly to keep your vehicle safe on the road. We'll inspect your tires to see if there's a problem and if it can be fixed with a plug or patch. Your tires will be repaired following industry standards at all times.

Does your vehicle need tire service?

Tire wear is one of the most obvious signs that your vehicle needs tire service. First, you'll want to pay attention to how your tires wear. If one or more tires are worn down more than the other, there may be a problem with your suspension system, alignment, or underinflation. Our technicians have the latest tools to help analyze the cause of uneven tire wear. We will also make sure to inspect the depth of your tire tread as well. Many use the "penny" test to decide whether or not they need to purchase new tires. Place a penny head-first into several tread grooves across the tire. If you always see the top of Lincoln's head, your treads are shallow and worn, and you need to replace your tires. The experts at our facility can evaluate and correct any misalignment or suspension problems and recommend new tires if needed.

What you can and cannot repair on a flat tire

Punctures in one or more of your tires can happen. Tire repair is an option to explore instead of buying a brand-new tire, but drivers should know the scope of what is legally permissible to have repaired.

Most countries' laws have a strict definition regarding the classification of repair materials and the number of repairs allowed on a single tire. Regulations like these are crucial to ensure the safety of all road users.

Tire repair work is usually not permissible when:

  • The tread depth is lower than the 1.6 mm legal limit;
  • The structural integrity of the tire has been compromised, or there is run flat damage;
  • The rubber is cracked, worn, or deteriorated;
  • An external object causes damage;
  • The cords are exposed;
  • There's any indication of faulty repairs made in the past.

The exact location of the puncture is also a deciding factor. The rules specify that tire repairs must stay within the central three-quarters of the tread, known as the "minor repair area."

Additionally, a repair isn't permitted if the puncture's size exceeds 6 mm in diameter. So drivers have no other alternative than to invest in a brand-new tire.

Reaching the PSI

Myths

Tires need to be inflated until they reach the pressure figure (PSI) mentioned on the tire's sidewall.

Facts

The value you see on the tire's sidewall is the maximum limit where it can be inflated. For instance, to know the correct pressure value in a car, open the door and look for the pressure value mentioned on the inner side of it.

Buying a Set

Myths

It is widely believed that you should buy your car tires in sets of four.

Facts

Only replace tires that you are sure are balding or damaged. If your front tires have considerable tread depth, but your back tires have suffered significant damage, only replace the latter

Lower Tire Pressure

Myths

The less the tire pressure, the more the grip on the road will be, especially in wet conditions, as it reduces the chances of a skid.

Facts

If you decrease the tire pressure, the tread and grooves will be closed, and their water dispersal capacity will be reduced drastically, leading to the wheels getting locked or skidding more.

Tire Degradation

Myths

New tires don't degrade.

Facts

The tread on your tires begins to wear down as you rack up miles behind the wheels; however, it does not mean that you reduce your car usage.
