Beyond The Basics: The Comprehensive 12 Point Tire Inspection At TIRECRAFT

The Importance Of A Thorough Tire Inspection:

Routine tire checks are the key to proper handling on the road. Even the most technologically advanced car safety systems depend on the traction of the tires. A compromised or faulty tire can result in higher fuel usage, longer stopping distances, and potential accidents. At TIRECRAFT, our tire inspections are thorough and ensures drivers’ safety in all conditions.

The TIRECRAFT 12-Point Inspection Breakdown:

1) Tire Pressure Check: The most common tire issue. We recommend checking tire pressure about once a month.  Typically, tires lose air pressure monthly. PSI can be increased in climates with rapid temperature shifts.  In cold weather, PSI drops and tires tend to be under-inflated. Ensuring tire pressure is correct will help to prevent uneven wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential blowouts.

2) Tread Depth Measurement: Proper tread depth means proper grip is maintained, especially in wet conditions. Over time, the tire tread will dullen.  This means it’s time for a new tire. We measure tire tread to ensure it’s within safe limits to resist all driving conditions.

3) Tire Age Inspection: As tires degrade over time, it is important to update your tires if it’s been a while. Checking the manufacturing date and advising on replacements if needed.

4) Sidewall Examination: Visually inspecting for bulges, cuts, or cracks in the sidewall, which can be dangerous if left unchecked.

5) Tire Rotation Assessment: We’ll check if your tires need to be rotated based on wear patterns. We recommend rotating your tires approximately every oil change.  This really helps extend their lifespan and prevent irregular wear. Don’t forget to check your spare tire if you have one.

6) Alignment Check: Assessing wheel alignment is an important factor to prevent uneven tire wear and allow for proper handling. Our experts will check if anything is misaligned and recommend adjustments if needed.

7) Tire Balancing: Unbalanced tires can lead to vibrations and uneven wear. We ensure even weight distribution across each tire for optimal performance.

8) Valve Cap and Stem Evaluation: These small components play a crucial role in maintaining tire pressure. We ensure they’re in good condition and functioning correctly.

9) Internal Tire Examination: We thoroughly inspect the inside for damages or issues not visible externally, which can cause unwanted problems in the future if left unchecked.

10) Suspension Check: Inspecting the suspension system which can affect tire wear and overall vehicle handling. Our team will conduct a thorough check and advise on any necessary repairs.

11) Brake Pad and Rotor Inspection: These play a significant role in overall wheel health. Our experts ensure these components are in optimal condition. Squeaking and Grinding can indicate these are faulty.

12) Recommendations and Feedback: We provide a detailed report post-inspection with expert recommendations tailored to your vehicle’s needs.
