Without proper tire repair and maintenance, your may end up replacing tires more than necessary. Murray Automotive wants you to get them most out of your tires.

Tire Pressure

Keeping your tires in good condition is relatively simple. The first step is to make sure you have the correct tire pressure. You can find the correct air pressure information for your tires in your owner’s manual or placard in your car that is on your front door jam, glove box or fuel door. If you have trouble finding this information, stop by, and one of our tire repair specialists will help you. Improper tire inflation can lead to bad gas mileage, tire wear, and affect handling. Remember to always check tire pressure when your tires are cold or rested; in the morning works best. Tire pressure will decrease naturally at different rates depending on temperature. For this reason, we suggest storing a pressure gauge in your glove box and checking your air pressure often.

Rotation and Balance

Rotating your tires is essential for proper tire maintenance. Rotation helps maintain a uniform wear pattern. We suggest rotating and balancing the tires every 5,000 miles. However, if you notice uneven wear, then rotate your tires earlier. Don’t forget that hitting potholes and curbs can cause misalignment, which leads to uneven wear.

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment is measured by camber, caster, and toe angles. The purpose of a wheel alignment is to ensure your wheels point in the same direction, reducing wear and keeping your vehicle from pulling to one side or the other. When your tires are out of alignment, they wear faster, and handling becomes more difficult. If your car is pulling to one side, bring it by Murray’s Automotive, and one of our tire repair specialists will inspect your tires and alignment.
