Service

Keeping your tires in good condition is easier said than done. Since they make constant contact with roads like I-72, these components will wear out over time. In fact, because of the weight of the engine and the force created when you stop, the front two are likely to degrade more quickly. If neglected, the rubber on the tires will become worn down to dangerous levels. Without deep enough tread, you run the risk of slipping or skidding when snow or rain befalls Springfield. In order to delay such an occurrence, it’s important to get routine tire maintenance. A tire rotation should be performed every 5,000 miles to keep the tread depths similar. Moreover, a wheel alignment can help balance the suspension and maintain a smooth driving experience.

New Tires

Even if taken care of, a set of tires will still need to be swapped out after three to five years. This timeframe can vary, so be sure to check with your car’s Owner’s Manual to see what the manufacturer recommends. If you have simply made contact with a nail on your way to Washington Park, it’s possible that the tire can be repaired, so check with us before replacing it. In the event that you need one or more parts changed, you can rely on our Service Department to acquire the ideal component. We have genuine Mopar parts at our dealership, which are ideal for your Chrysler Pacifica or Jeep Grand Cherokee. We can replace your current tires with brand-new ones, as well as dispose of your old ones. 

Advice

While maintenance and routine repairs can prolong the life of your tires, your driving habits also play a role in their lasting quality. For example, when you travel down gravel roads or unpaved paths, the rubber on your tires is subject to more damage. This means you can get more out of your tires by avoiding these kinds of streets when possible. Also, parking your car in a puddle or other wet area for a long period of time can degrade the material on your wheels. Try to keep your vehicle in a covered area like a garage whenever possible, as this will keep the elements from affecting your tires.
