The Importance of Tire Maintenance at our Chevy Service Center

Possibly the most vital component of a vehicle is its tires - they're the main point of contact between you and the road and make sure you can travel safely. One of the most common tasks we complete at our Chevy service center is tire maintenance, so it's important to familiarize yourself with the process sooner rather than later. If you have any questions, visit Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen.

What is Tire Service?

There are three different service tasks that we refer to regarding tire maintenance. The most common service that we provide is tire rotation. As you drive, the tread patterns on your tires start to become uneven and can cause a lot of tires to build up in one specific part of the tires. We recommend stopping in for tire rotation once every 5,000 miles or so.

When your vehicle first arrives from the factory, they are perfectly aligned to give you a smooth drive. As you drive more and more, the alignment will become off-center and can cause further issues. Make sure to have your tires realigned every time you install new ones.

Another service we provide is tire rebalancing. Factory-installed Chevy tires have small weights attached that help extend the lifespan of your tires as much as possible. If you notice a strange vibration while driving, you might need tire rebalancing.

When Do I Need Tire Service?

At home, there are a few different signs and symptoms you can watch out for to make sure your tires stay in great condition. If you notice any of the following, visit our service center as soon as possible:

• Cracks or bulges can occur when your tires stiffen as the temperatures get colder.
• Uneven tread wear can affect your ability to stop and requires realignment to fix.
• Strange noises or vibrations while driving can indicate a tire issue.
• Any punctures or physical damage to your tires.
