Taking Care Of Your Tires

It’s important to address any signs of wear on your tires, including:

  • Cracks
  • Bumps
  • Cuts
  • Split Sidewalls
  • Tread Wear Indicators

At Tonkin Chevrolet GMC, our Certified Service experts can inspect your tires and deliver proper care and maintenance to help promote driving comfort, optimal performance and safety.

Tire Pressure

Maintaining proper tire pressure is critical for overall tire and vehicle performance. Tonkin Chevrolet GMC recommends regular visits and service with our expert Certified Service team to help ensure your tire pressure is at the correct level.

We also suggest:

  • Checking your tires at least once a month when tires have not been driven for at least 3 hours or no more than 1 mile
  • Always refer to the Tire Information Label for the recommended cold tire pressure located on the inside of your vehicle’s doorframe when inflating tires

Tire Rotation

Rotating your tires regularly every 7,500 miles:

  • Promotes even tire wear
  • Extends the tires’ life
  • Helps ensure optimal performance of your tires

Refer to your Owner’s Manual for the recommended rotation for your vehicle.

Wheel Alignment

Improper wheel alignment can lead to multiple problems:

  • Uneven tire wear
  • Abnormal vibrations while driving
  • Poor handling as the vehicle may pull to one side

To help promote the life and performance of your tires and vehicle, bring your vehicle to Tonkin Chevrolet GMC for any signs of misalignment — and we’ll help get your GMC vehicle back in shape and back on the road safely.

Tire FAQ's

You’ll need new tires if the Tread Wear Indicators at three or more places around the tire can be seen. We recommend that the tires be inspected for signs of wear or damage at least once a month, and that vehicle owners seek professional service if the following are found:

  • Cracks in tire tread or sidewalls
  • Cuts in tires that reveal cord or fabric
  • Bumps, bulges or splits in tires
  • Punctures in tires
  • Any other irreparable damage

An underinflated tire can result in overloading and overheating, blowouts, excessive tire wear, poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Overinflated tires also can result in excessive tire wear

Each tire on a vehicle performs a different task, causing them to wear at different rates. Regular tire rotation allows tires to wear evenly, optimizing tire life and allowing tires to be replaced in sets of four, which is preferable.

Our Certified Service experts at Tonkin Chevrolet GMC can recommend tires that are right for your vehicle, your driving habits and your budget.
