At Eastgate Automotive tire service, we prioritize the maintenance of your tires, ensuring they are in optimal condition. Should any issues arise, we'll promptly repair or replace them. Your tires play a crucial role in keeping your vehicle securely connected to the road surface. It's important to conduct regular visual inspections to identify any signs of uneven wear or low tread depth. By doing so, you'll not only extend the lifespan of your tires but also enhance fuel efficiency.

What Should I Be Looking For?

When inspecting your tires and considering whether you require our tire service, be vigilant for various indicators, including:

• Tread depth should not be below 2/32nds of an inch, as indicated by wear bars between your tire tread
• Proper inflation, as indicated by the placard on the inside of your driver’s front door jam
• Tread wear should be even across the whole tire
• Objects, such as nails or screws, embedded in the tire
• Exposed metal cords, typically out of bald tires

And don't forget, a penny saved is a penny earned!

Early or uneven wear can be caused by many factors, including:

• Improperly inflated tires
• Improper alignment
• High speed cornering
• Rims damaged by hitting potholes or curbs
• Frequently slamming on the brakes
