Why Your Car’s Tires Are So Important
posted on
8/24/2020 12:33:10 PM
Every part of your vehicle serves a purpose, and one of the most important of these components is the tires. The main functions of a vehicle’s tires include supporting the vehicle load, transmitting traction and braking forces, absorbing road shocks, and changing and maintaining the direction of travel. They are the main contact your vehicle has with the road, and they require regular maintenance for them to continue operating at their peak. To ensure that your tires are being kept in proper working conditions, there are some important things to inspect on each of your vehicle’s tires, including proper tread depth and tire pressure, and performing
wheel alignments
, tire repair, and installing
new tires
.
Having the proper tires for your car can improve your fuel economy, handling, and your overall safety. Maintaining your car’s tires is the most important step you can take to avoid inconvenience and the need for premature tire replacement. Your tires are the most crucial component of your vehicle that is essential for safe driving. At
Lake Ridge Auto Care in Woodbridge, VA
, we understand the importance of your vehicle’s tires. We offer our customers quality tires, tire maintenance, and
auto repair services
.
The Importance of Tires
Safety
Tires play an essential role in the safety of your vehicle. They give your vehicle the ability to grip the road, turn safely, and stop in a reasonable amount of time. When tires are worn, they cannot function properly and can compromise your safety, causing a catastrophic accident. Tires need to be properly maintained, and new tires need to be installed every five or six years.
Efficiency
When your ties are not kept properly maintained, it makes it more difficult for your vehicle to keep consistent contact with the road. Your vehicle will need to work harder and it will consume more fuel. Properly inflated, balanced, and rotated tires will offer better fuel efficiency and gives a smooth ride. Have your tires rotated every six months or 6,000 miles, and the tire balance checked annually.
Performance
A car’s tires help to make driving feel comfortable and smooth. When you have faulty tires, performance is diminished causing a bumpy and erratic ride from the worn-out tire. Well-maintained tires will allow your vehicle to efficiently deliver power to each of the wheels, and in turn, the tires will put it to the pavement.
Traction
Traction is the friction between your wheel and the road surface. It allows your tires to properly grip the road surface so that you remain in control of your vehicle even when faced with tough conditions like snowy or slushy roads. Having tires that are in good condition, with the proper amount of tread, will have more traction and grip so that your car handles more capably, giving you a much more satisfying ride and reducing fuel consumption.
