Lakeland Car Co. Auto Sales & Service Tech Question on Tire Wear

{{ image('MzM0') }}

Lakeland Car Co. Auto Sales & Service Tech Question:
My name is Dan. My vehicle tires wore out early and I had to replace them. What can I do to make my tires last longer?

Lakeland Car Co. Auto Sales & Service Answer:
Dan's problem – premature tire wear – is very common for Grand Rapids residents. Here are several ways to lengthen the life of your tires:

First, tires lose air pressure over time, so check them at least once a month and fill them up as necessary. A sticker on the driver's side door jamb has the recommended pressure.

Tire rotation is also important to increase the life of tires. Your front tires take the brunt of stopping and steering forces so they wear faster than the rear tires. They should be rotated regularly so that all four tires wear more evenly. Talk to us at Lakeland Car Co. Auto Sales & Service in Grand Rapids for more information.

Out of balance wheels can also cause a tire to wear too fast. Grand Rapids drivers who feel a vibration in their seat or steering wheel may have a wheel out of balance.

Finally, bad wheel alignment and worn or damaged suspension can chew through a tire very quickly. Ask your friendly pros at Lakeland Car Co. Auto Sales & Service to have your tires inspected for signs of premature wear. Your technician will be able to pinpoint the cause and get it taken care of.
