When Does My Car Need New Tires?

Your Buick or GMC vehicle could need new tires for several reasons. These include:

• Low Tread Depth - We suggest using the "Penny Test" to discover if your tire's tread is deep enough. Put the penny upside down in the tread. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, you'll need to have the tire replaced, as the tread is too low.
• Physical Damage - Does it look like the tires on your vehicle have been damaged in any way? Do you see scratches, cracks, bulges, or blisters? Does it seem like the tire loses air quickly? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you'll need to have the tires inspected and/or replaced.
• Seasonal Changes - It's important for drivers in Mechanicsburg or the surrounding areas to have their tires changed with each season. You'll want to make sure that your car has summer or winter tires as needed.

How Often Should I Replace My Car's Tires?

It's recommended to have your car's tires changed as needed, as mentioned above, or every six to 10 years. If you live in an area with harsh winter weather, you'll want to make sure that the tires are replaced every season.

Tire Alignments and Balancing

Why Should I Have My Car's Wheels Aligned?

Wheel alignments put your vehicle back into the right balance. This makes sure that your car is making proper contact with the road. An aligned vehicle helps to keep your tires lasting longer, provides better gas mileage, improves safety, and offers a much smoother ride.

When Do I Need a Wheel Alignment?

It's important to have your wheels aligned every two years or about every 6,000 to 10,000 miles. If you've noticed any of the following, you'll want to schedule a wheel alignment.

• Car pulling to the right or left instead of straight
• A crooked steering wheel when you're driving straight
• Vibration through the steering wheel
• Uneven tire wear

Why Do My Tires Need to Be Balanced?

Being off-balance isn't good for your comfort or your vehicle. If your car is unbalanced, it will result in more wear and tear to your tires, steering, and overall vehicle health.
