Our high-tech center can provide the necessary means to have your car back on the road in no time. Tires are one of the most important elements that make up your Toyota, and ensuring they run in prime condition will provide peace of mind. So if you notice your car starting to perform irregularly, the alignment seems off, or tire pressure is low, we highly recommend having them inspected before problems escalate. Regardless of your reason for visiting, the mechanical experts at Prestige Toyota of Ramsey will assist you immediately!

Understanding what kind of tire service your vehicle requires can save you time and money. Thus, some indications that warrant a tire change include low tire pressure and improper tire rotations, which can lead to premature tire wear. A perfectly inflated set of tires have long-lasting sidewalls, while under-inflated tires tend to have more flexible ones, thus resulting in tire tearing. Likewise, overinflated tires have exaggerated tread wear in the center of the tire. In this case, wheel balancing can relieve the symptoms. Luckily, the certified Toyota mechanics at our service center will determine the problem and guarantee your vehicle obtains the best service. When your tires are properly inflated, tread movement will be reduced, and traction will be improved.

The average life of a tire varies but can fall anywhere from 35,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on each driver's routine. These habits can have various functions when it comes to aligning the tires within your Toyota, which is why we take the time on each customer's vehicle to ensure it receives the best possible care when undergoing maintenance at our department to avoid future inconveniences. Our services include wheel balancing, tire purchase, installation, wheel alignment, rotation, and repair. Toyota owners can also utilize the "Penny Test" to determine the depth of the tire and decide if it requires a complete replacement.

The steps include:

1. Place a penny between the grooves or the tread of your tire.
2. Ensure that Lincoln's entire head is facing down when you place the penny in the tread.
3. If you can see Lincoln's whole head, it may be time to replace the tire because the tread is no longer deep enough to provide proper traction and performance.

Taking Care Of Your Tires

While there are plenty of ways to preserve the life of your tires, listed below are the top ways you can extend their life.

• Perform a tire inspection: Sometimes, you might not even notice that you have damaged tires. This is why it's important to inspect your tires to avoid potential or worsening damage regularly.

• Air pressure check: If you are driving around with the incorrect tire pressure, it can seriously affect your car's braking and handling, especially in wet weather conditions, which can harm your safety. Low tire pressure can also lead to heat build-up, which can lead to early failure. At least once a month, check your tire pressure.

• Slow down: Driving at high speeds can damage your tires, as you have an increased risk of being impaired by heat build-up or hazards on the road. 

• Use the spare tire: If your current tire has been damaged, you should replace it with a spare tire until a certified tire specialist, such as our team members, check out your vehicle.
