Keeping your vehicle healthy includes making sure your tires are in top condition. At Discount Auto Shop, we’re experts in all things tires, from helping you find the right ones to getting them installed correctly.

Why Tire Maintenance is So Important

Tires are critical for your car's safety and performance. Over time, the tread wears down, which can lead to a loss of traction—especially in wet or slick conditions. This creates a safety risk that can be easily avoided with proper maintenance.

Here’s what you should know about replacing tires:

• Most manufacturers recommend replacing tires that are over 10 years old, regardless of tread depth.

• The general recommendation is to replace them every 6 years, but with regular driving, many people need new tires every couple of years.

• Driving habits, road conditions, and weather can all affect how quickly your tires wear out.

How to Tell if You Need New Tires

You may need new tires if you notice any of the following:

• Your tread depth is below 4/32” or fails the "penny test."

• The tread is flush with the wear bars on the tire.

• You see irregular wear patterns on the tread.

• There are bulges, bumps, or soft spots on the tire.

• The tire has damage that cannot be repaired.

Professional Flat Tire Repair

A flat tire can happen for many reasons. A common cause is a puncture from a sharp object like a nail, which lets air leak out slowly or quickly. A worn-out tire with thin tread can also go flat more easily. Sometimes, the valve stem itself can malfunction or leak, causing the tire to lose air.

No matter the cause, you should never drive on a flat tire. Continuing to drive on a flat can lead to a tire blowout, causing you to lose control of your vehicle. It can also cause irreparable damage to the tire itself, as the rim presses down on the inner tread. Ignoring a flat tire is a major safety risk that could lead to a dangerous accident.
