It’s understandable if you’ve overlooked tire care in the past – after all, tires are one of the simplest (in terms of design) components on an automobile. But although they’re round, rubber, and straightforward, your tires can make a huge difference between a pleasant ownership experience and one that’s fraught with problems. First and foremost, the one thing you want to become familiar with is proper tire inflation. When your tires are inflated correctly, everything feels right. However, when your tires are under or over-inflated, your ride quality could go south in a hurry.
Overinflated tires cause the center of your tires to wear out quicker than the sides. Underinflated tires cause the sides to wear out faster than the center. Both scenarios will unquestionably hamper your ability to turn, corner, brake, and accelerate, and you’ll also take a hit in the gas mileage department too. There’s also a condition called “feathering”, which is generally caused by misaligned wheels. In this case, the tires will exhibit a wear pattern that goes across the tires, with the end-result being some of the same problems already referenced.
The good news is that our service team can get your wheels aligned correctly, show you the ropes regarding correct tire inflation, and give you some tips for how to self-check your tires. Stop in today and get the scoop while you’re checking out a new Hyundai Elantra near Parkville, MD!
