Things to Consider When Choosing New Jeep Tires and How We Can Help
Your tires are one of the most important items to maintain when it comes to safety and rideability. Routine tire maintenance is a must. An expert Jeep service center like the one we offer here at Providence Autos Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can examine your tires and recommend any actions required for a safe and reliable set of wheels. Our technicians often point out to customers that bad tires can lead to other mechanical issues regarding braking and steering. You can save money and avoid costly repairs by ensuring you have a good set of tires.
The certified technicians at our service center will take care of all your tire maintenance needs and advise if it's time to replace a set of worn-out or damaged tires. You certainly don't need tire issues, especially on wet roads. You also don't need the hassle of being stuck on the side of the road when the snow starts flying. Tire maintenance is a must in these conditions, and the tire experts at our service center are here to help. Let's take a closer look at the importance of having safe tires and how we can help ensure yours are in great working condition.
The Importance of a Great Set of Tires
We can't stress enough the important role your tires play in getting you from point A to point B safely. If your front end seems to track to the left or right, you have repeated trips to the gas station's air compressor, or you're getting a bit of a jiggle at highway speeds, it may indicate signs of tire wear or damage. These issues can be compounded when you add in weather conditions like wet roads, ice, or snow accumulation.
A good set of tires, properly balanced and aligned if warranted, will ensure safe and worry-free driving in all seasons. That's where the Providence Autos Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram service department comes in handy. We can help you find the right set of tires, install and balance them, and perform a front-end or four-wheel alignment. Aside from the mechanics of tire maintenance, what should you consider when selecting tires? There are factors to consider, such as your budget, the tire's expected years of use, the tire warranty, and your driving needs.
Finding the Right Tires for Your Jeep
If you have ever had the experience of running on bald or worn tires, you know how risky that can be. One good pothole or curb rub while turning could leave you flat. Getting stuck on the side of the road is not a pleasant experience for anyone. If you're lucky enough to have roadside assistance, you're still apt to have a few hours of your day tied up. When the tow truck driver does show up, they may be taken aback by the miserable state of your tires. Let's talk about budget and the quality of tires within various budget constraints.
The price of tires is impacted by many economic variables. These include the cost of raw materials, the cost of labor, and any ongoing tariffs on imports/exports are just a few examples. Knowing the general pricing for a given set of tires can help you determine how much to budget for the tires. Another consideration is tire quality. After all, it is widely known that what goes into making a cheap set of tires versus a quality set of tires is not the same at all. The last thing you want is a tire blowout while on the highway because you decided to cut corners and opt for a cheaper set. We can help you find a quality pair of tires that fits your budget.
In general terms, the quality of materials, the composition of the tire (materials that make up the tire), and the size/type of tire will dictate the price. Tire size is dictated mostly by what type of vehicle it is being mounted on. Always err on the side of the manual's listed specifications; you do not want any tire to wheel well rub when turning the wheel. The tire type has a bit more wiggle room. In cold weather conditions, many drivers opt for winter or mud terrain tires. While most Jeep models come equipped with some form of all-terrain tires, it's important to consider another set of tires that will accommodate the sometimes challenging terrain that winters in Pennsylvania bring.
The wear life of a tire may be listed by the manufacturer. A quality tire will always have a rigorous set of quality control tests performed by machine and/or material experts in the field. The disclaimer on the wear life of a tire includes driving style (aggressive braking or acceleration, for example), the number of miles per month/year the vehicle is driven, general road conditions for that region, and a host of other factors. A tire's age also plays into its longevity, even when only used for occasional driving. A general rule of thumb is that you should check your tires regularly, especially when it comes to tire pressure, which should be checked once a month.
