How are tires measured and when should they be replaced?
Tires are measured in tread depths. A brand-new tire off the lot starts at 8 millimeters, from that point on we measure and review your tire tread depth using the Multi-Point Inspection tool. A tire with a tread depth below 1.6 millimeters lacks grip. Braking distance and vehicle control are impaired. These tires are not safe for driving and must be replaced. Luckily, your local team at Bank Street Toyota Service Centere will happily get you the tires you need for your vehiclw.
What's an alignment? And why do I need one?
Your vehicle's wheel alignment can be negatively affected by driving on rough or poorly maintained roads. Misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear and less than optimal handling and fuel economy. Here are some signs of tire misalignment:
- Your vehicle pulls to the left or right
- The steering wheel is off-center when you're driving in a straight line
- Squealing tires
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Watch how tire wear plays a large role in your ability to brake.
If you suspect your vehicle's wheels are misaligned, schedule an appointment. We can check the alignment with our precision equipment and adjust it if necessary.
At Bank Street Toyota, we recommend you perform an alignment once every 12 months or at time of tire replacement (2 or 4 tires). Alignments are considered preventative care and pro-long the life of your tire. Ensuring you remain safe and get the most out of your money!
