Tires

Today’s tires are made up of several layers of specialized materials, each playing its own role in how the tire functions. They last longer and are less prone to dangerous blowouts than older tires. Mobile Tire Doctor offers all the major brands of tires. New tires are better at maintaining contact with the road and can help a car’s performance and handling. Choosing the right tires are critically important. As an example, a vehicle towing a trailer or equipment will need a higher load rating tire. With our Florida weather, high ambient temperatures and heavy rain requires a better traction rating. The life expectancy of a tire depends on road conditions, driving habits, tire pressure, usage, and properly rated tires for the vehicle. A tire in Florida should be replaced at least every 6 years or when it reaches less than 3/32 of an inch tread. Yes, a penny still works to check tread depth. Our weather contributes to early deterioration of tires. The rubber compounds found in tires dry out over time and can lead to cracking, greater stress on the tire’s infrastructure and can lead to catastrophic failure. We have all seen vehicles with flat tires on the side of the road. Don’t let this happen to you….be sure your tires are in road worthy shape! If not, let us provide choices for new tires on your vehicle.
