Prioritizing Your Safety at Atlantic Auto and Diesel LLC
At Atlantic Auto and Diesel LLC, the safety of our customers takes precedence above all else. We are dedicated to ensuring that you reach your destination safely and reliably every time you hit the road. One critical area of concern for the vehicles that come through Atlantic Auto and Diesel LLC is the condition of their tires.
Your tires serve as your vehicle's only contact point with the road. When they do not perform their role correctly, all the research and safety testing that went into your car's design may not be sufficient to keep you safe. In the sections below, we provide essential information about your tires and how to recognize when it's time for replacements.
The Dangers of Old or Worn Tires
As mentioned earlier, your tires are a crucial component of your car or truck. If you've ever experienced the loss of control while driving, you understand how frightening it can be to feel powerless inside a two-ton metal vehicle.
Driving with tires that are either too old, improperly inflated, out of balance, or unsuitable for current weather conditions can lead to a potentially catastrophic situation during your journey. Your tires were meticulously designed with a specific purpose in mind, and using them improperly can result in sudden and disastrous consequences.
The Importance of Tire Inflation
Detecting low tire pressure is relatively straightforward. If you notice that your tire appears wider where it makes contact with the road, it's a clear sign that it requires more air.
Driving on under-inflated tires accelerates their wear due to uneven sidewall pressure, potentially leading to tire shredding. Moreover, low tire pressure negatively affects your vehicle's fuel efficiency.
On the other hand, excessive air pressure in your tires is also unsafe. While the likelihood of a tire bursting upon hitting a substantial pothole is minimal, overinflation reduces the size of the contact patch, resulting in reduced grip and control over your vehicle. The recommended tire pressure is typically found on the tire's sidewall, making it easy to determine the ideal pressure for your vehicle.
We offer most major brands of tires. These are a few of our preferred brands.
FAQs About New Tires
But Aren't New Tires More Expensive?
While a set of new tires may appear more expensive on installation day, manufacturer rebates and Matt Davis Auto promotions can often reduce the difference between new and used tires. New tires also provide the confidence, safety, and reliability that used tires simply can't match.
The price of new tires typically includes a manufacturer's warranty, which in many cases protects against premature tread wear and other covered defects, delivering additional long-term value.
Can New Tires Lead to Fuel Savings?
Yes. Many tire manufacturers now offer fuel-efficient tire options that can help lower fuel costs over the life of the tires. If you have a long commute or frequently travel long distances, fuel-saving tires may be a worthwhile investment.
These tires are designed to provide dependable traction in wet weather while maintaining a comfortable ride. Some manufacturers claim fuel-efficient tires can save the equivalent of up to 2,600 miles worth of fuel over the lifespan of a tire set.
How Long Do New Tires Typically Last?
On average, new tires last approximately three to four years, although actual lifespan depends on driving habits, road conditions, maintenance, and tire type.
If tread durability is a priority, consider all-terrain or highway-terrain tires designed for both daily driving and heavier workloads. Many of these tires provide a smooth ride for everyday use while offering the durability needed for towing, hauling, and off-road adventures.
How Long After New Tires Should I Get an Alignment?
It is recommended to have a wheel alignment performed immediately after installing new tires. Proper alignment ensures the tires meet the road at the correct angles, helping maximize tire life, maintain optimal handling, and prevent uneven tread wear.
Even if you haven't recently installed tires, routine alignment inspections every few years help maintain vehicle safety, improve fuel economy, and provide the best overall driving performance.
