Tire Installation

Your tires connect you directly to the road surface and are one of the most important safety items on your vehicle. At Mobile Tire Doctor we take tire installation to a higher level. Your vehicle is lifted on 4 air jacks to gently raise it to a controlled height. Our Tire Doctors use special sockets that protect not only your wheels but your lug nuts as well when removing them. The wheel studs are cleaned to remove rust, debris and checked for previous damage. The next step is to remove the tire from the rim. Our tire removal equipment has enhanced features to keep your wheels from getting scraped or bruised while the tire is surgically removed. A thorough inspection of the rim is performed to determine if there is any corrosion or damage. Our computer assisted balancing machine is highly calibrated. We precisely balance each tire to exacting accuracy. The wheel weights can be placed in the inner wheel to be less obtrusive. This amount of detail assures you that the tires will not cause any undue vibration and provide for a smooth ride. Installation of the tire is the last step and no less important. A Tire Doctor uses a proprietary lift to raise the tire to the wheel hub. This keeps the threads from getting damaged. The lug nuts are applied by hand first. Then an impact wrench is used to further tighten them. Tire Doctors check the lug nuts with a torque wrench to be sure they meet the specifications. Our level of service far exceeds industry standards, after all….we are Mobile Tire Doctors!
