Tire Services at Bob Moore Subaru

One of the most essential parts of your vehicle, which many drivers tend to forget, is the tires. Your vehicle’s tires are the only part that makes any connection with the road. Tires are also a crucial component of the suspension system. While tire maintenance is easy and important to your safety, they often go overlooked. Getting your tires serviced properly can provide proper traction and reduce roll resistance on the roads of Yukon. Let our factory-trained service team take care of all your tire services, here at Bob Moore Subaru.

Time For New Tires?

Do you remember the last time you got new tires? If not, checking your vehicle’s tires for wear and tear can ultimately keep you safe and save you money. Using the penny test is a good way to check the tread on your tires. Place a penny head down into the tread of your tire, if most of Lincoln’s head is visible, then it may be time for new tires. For most vehicles, tire manufacturers recommend replacing your tires every 10 years and vehicle manufacturers recommend new tires every six years. It is always a good idea to check your specific tire’s recommendations and get a highly-trained service member’s option. How often you drive your vehicle, the condition of your tires, and road conditions can all impact when it’s time for new tires.

Repairing Your Tires

Whether you have a nail or a small puncture hole, having a trained professional perform the repair can ensure safe vehicle operation on the roads of Edmond. For a tire to be repaired properly, the tire has to be removed from the wheel and rim. This allows our service technicians to provide a thorough inspection of the inner and outer walls of the tire. If the puncture or hole is ¼ inch or smaller and is located on the tread, then it can be repaired by plug and patch. If the puncture is close to the inner or outer wall, then it is unlikely a repair can be made safely.

Tire Balancing

Having your tires balanced means having the same air pressure in all four tires to ensure even wear and tear. In our service center, we use a computerized wheel balancer that pinpoints the weight difference in each tire which allows our team to add or release air. For even wear and safety on the road, both the tire and wheel should remain an equal weight. The following signs can determine if your tires need to be balanced:

  • Squeals coming from the tires
  • Harsh vibrations throughout the vehicle
  • The vehicle pulls to one side while driving straight
  • Uneven tread wear

You will notice a smoother and more controlled ride when you get your tires balanced at Bob Moore Subaru.

Rotating Your Tires

Another way to reduce uneven tread wear on your tires is by having them rotated. This means your tires will be taken off and repositioned in a different place. The position in which your tires are rotated depends on your vehicle and the specific type of tires. Routine tire rotations with Bob Moore Subaru can improve fuel efficiency, and prolong the life of your tires. It is recommended that tire rotations occur every six months or every 7,500 miles.
