Tire Center Cleveland Ohio

Rotating your tires is the most integral part of maintaining your tires and extending their lifespan. The reason tires must be rotated is because of the location of your vehicle's heaviest components: the engine and transmission. The weight of these parts falls primarily on the front axle, putting more weight on the front tires. This additional weight causes the front tires to lose tread at a faster rate than the rear tires. By getting regular tire rotations, the front tires are swapped with the rears to ensure all four tires wear down at the same rate and that both axles have optimal traction at all times. The service team here at Junction Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram recommends having your tires rotated every 5,000 miles. To easily remember to get regular tire rotations, simply have one performed at each oil change.

The most important part of your tires are the treads. Different tires feature different tread patterns, but all tires have one common goal: to provide optimal traction and performance. The tread of your tires are the grooves on the tire's road surface, designed to grip the road. Accompanying the tread are smaller grooves positioned horizontally from the tire's road surface out toward the edges. These are called "sipes" and are in place to whisk water, snow, and dirt away from the tire's road surface, helping maintain its contact with the road. To check your tire's tread, a tread-depth gauge is recommended. A technician here in our service center will happily check your tire's tread depth with one. To inspect your tread depth at home, you can use a penny. Stick the penny into a few different spots in the tire's grooves, and if the top of Lincoln's head is showing, it's time to have your tires replaced.

Here at Junction Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we're happy to provide drivers in the Cleveland area with all the tire expertise they need to keep their vehicles safe. In addition to tread depth readings, tire pressure checks, and tire rotations, we offer many other tire services. For example, you may notice your tire pressure warning light is flashing instead of solid. This means that, rather than low tire pressure, there is a malfunction with one or more of your car's tire pressure monitoring sensors, which we can diagnose and replace in our service center. We will also happily repair a hole in the tire's road surface when necessary. If your tires are due for a replacement, our service center stocks a wide variety of all-season, all-terrain, and snow tires to suit the varying needs of Cleveland drivers. We also perform wheel alignments to ensure all four wheels are pointed in the right direction.
