Tire Tips from Barry Sanders Supercenter
A car is nothing without tires. Whether you drive an electric car, gas or a hybrid, tires are a necessity, without them, you cannot get around.
At Barry Sanders Supercenter in Stillwater, Oklahoma, we know you need a solid set of tires to get around the hometown of America’s Brightest Orange. Wouldn’t it be great if orange tires were a trend? We may have found our new idea!
You don’t need to know NASCAR terminology to make sure your tires are safe. We’re here to give you the basic knowledge that will allow you to get the most out of your tires.
Wheel Alignment:
Tires wear the more you drive on them. You cannot fully avoid this issue. What you can do however is make sure that your tires are aligned. This allows for better tire life and ride experience. Aligned tires won’t make any noise, nor will your car favor one side or another.
Wheels out of alignment can be a nightmare, one moment you can be in the center lane, and before you know it, you’re drifting towards the side of the highway, or worse, into oncoming traffic. Another issue that might be noticed with misaligned tires is abnormal vibrations. Rattling and humming at high speeds might be indicators that your tires need to be aligned. The only vibrations you should want are positive vibrations, not abnormal.
Tire Rotation:
Longevity is what we want in all of our investments. How long can we make this last and still perform well? What can I do to get the best return on my investment? Our Barry Sanders Supercenter Service Technicians would answer that tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles. This allows them to live and perform better longer.
Tire Pressure:
Some people, like tires, can handle pressure. Others, however, cannot. Keeping your tires at the right pressure can improve fuel economy, traction, stop and start ability, and most importantly, ride quality. To check what the exact tire pressure is that is needed for your car, look for a label on in the inside of your door frame or come on down to Barry Sanders Supercenter and we’ll check for you.
Copping some new shoes:
We hope you now know what to look for when your car starts humming its own tune or decides to go its own way, as if your tires are taking advice from Fleetwood Mac. We’re all under pressure sometimes, even our tires, but now you know how to get your tires to perform well.
No matter how much time you spend keeping your tires in shape, eventually there will be a time to upgrade.
Buying tires isn’t as hard a process as some can make it seem. A great place to start is the internet. There you will find many reputable tire companies and will be able to find the perfect fit for you and your car. This is the fun part! You can find the perfect fit for your metal Cinderella and off you two will go riding into the sunset. Sounds dreamy, doesn’t it?
Maybe tire fitting fairy-tales aren’t your thing. Instead, you can come see us at Barry Sanders Supercenter in Stillwater, Oklahoma and we can align, rotate, or replace your tires for you!
