Importance of Tire Service

Tires are the only part of your vehicle that makes constant contact with the road, which means that over time they wear down and need to be properly inspected for any issues. From driving over debris and rougher terrain to taking on the seasons and stopping at a moment's notice, your tires tread goes through it all. Having proper tire tread and inflation is key to keeping you and your passengers safe on the road, as well as maximizing the efficiency of your vehicle. Additionally, regular tire care will prolong the life of your tire set and save you money on replacements.

Tire Rotations

It is recommended to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to ensure even wear and maintain their grip. This process involves moving the tires of your vehicle from one location to another. Depending on whether you have a front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, or all-wheel-drive vehicle, the tires will be moved in different patterns. Tire rotation prevents uneven wear, which is caused by the heavier weight of the front of your car. By rotating your tires, you can help them last longer and maintain their performance.

Tire Changes

Depending on your driving habits and climate, your vehicle's tires should last three to five years. When that time comes, we know choosing the right tires can be difficult. That’s why Martin Chevrolet has a Tire Finder tool that makes it easy to find compatible tires for your vehicle. Our selection includes various brands, sizes, and styles to fit your budget and driving needs. Our experienced technicians will install your new tires efficiently and correctly, giving you peace of mind.
