Why is it important to have my tires aligned by MOPAR service experts?
Your
vehicle's steering and suspension are calibrated for optimal
performance to maximize fuel economy and safety while at the same time
minimizing wear and tear on your vehicles components. Even without
nudging curbs, or hitting potholes the simple rigors of everyday driving
can cause these systems to fall out of calibration - best case causing
premature wear of steering and suspension component as well as your
tires, worst case making your vehicle unpredictable and unsafe as you
travel down the road.
If you are experiencing any of the
following, you may have an alignment issue and should book an
appointment with your local Mopar® Service Experts for an alignment
inspection to properly diagnose the problem.
- Vibrations felt through the steering wheel
- Steering wheel not centered, even though your car is driving straight.
Why should I purchase winter tires?
In temperatures below 7° Celsius - you need Winter Tires.
At
precisely 7° Celsius the superior adhesion of winter tires begins to
make a difference, regardless of road or weather conditions. With their
specifically formulated rubber compounds, winter tires reduce vehicle
stopping distances by up to 25% - performance that can make the
difference between a close call and calling for a tow.
Why should I have my tires rotated?
Rotating
your tires based on the schedule presented in your owner's manual is
very important. The front tires on your vehicle wear differently and
more quickly than the rear tires - especially if it is a front wheel
drive. Rotating tires from front to rear several times during their
lifecycle will:
- Help to equalize tread wear
- Provide an opportunity to inspect your tires for any damage
- Ensure that you maximize the life of all 4 tires
- There are several different acceptable methods for rotating your tires based on the set-up of your vehicle:
- Staggered wheels (front and rear tires are different sizes)
- Unidirectional tires (tires a specific to one side of the car)
- Asymmetrical tires (tread pattern changes from inside to outside of the tire)
How often should I check my tire pressure?
Typically
tire pressure should be checked at least once a month as tires that are
not properly inflated can compromise both the handling and safety of
your vehicle.
What is my correct tire pressure?
Your
recommended tire pressure is located on a sticker in the driver's door
jamb or fuel-filler door. This is the ideal pressure for the tires used
on your specific model vehicle. The pressure indicated on your tire wall
is the maximum allowable tire pressure, not the recommended pressure.
If you are having problems with maintaining tire pressure or if you
notice any unusual or uneven wear or damage to your tires, come visit us as soon as possible.
