Blackfoot New Tires
​Your vehicle's tires are important. They support the vehicle's load, send traction and brake force to the road, and absorb road shocks. To ensure the tires can handle these functions properly, you should inspect them regularly. Things to check include the tires' tread depth, wear, air pressure, and signs of deterioration and other damage. In some cases, tires can be repaired, but many problems can only be remedied by buying replacement tires. Fortunately, if you live in Blackfoot, new tires are easy to purchase when you visit Hirning Buick GMC in Pocatello.
Proper tread depth is crucial for the tires to perform properly. In rain or other wet conditions, water accumulates on the road surface. The tread provides the traction necessary to drive safely in these situations. When the road is wet, the grooves channel water away from the tires' surface. The grooves can't keep the water away from the tire surface if the tread is worn, leading to hydroplaning. When the tires hydroplane, your car is driving on water instead of the road. Hydroplaning can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
​New Tires For Sale Near Blackfoot
​How can you tell if it's time to start looking for new tires for sale in Blackfoot? There's an easy method to check your vehicle's tire tread using a penny. With Lincoln's head pointing down, push the penny into the grooves on the tread. The tires are good if the tire tread hides part of Lincoln's head. Otherwise, the tread is too shallow, and your tires need to be replaced.
Another sign that it may be time for new tires is their age. Some tire manufacturers recommend replacing the tires after six years, even if the tread isn't worn. Others recommend replacing them after 10 years. If you're not sure when to buy new tires, check with the manufacturer or bring your vehicle to the Hirning Buick GMC Service Center.
