At SJ Tire Company, we know how inconvenient a flat tire can be. Tires can lose air for many reasons including a punctured tire, a corroded rim, a leaky valve stem, or a cracked wheel. If you do experience a flat or low tire, come to a stop in a safe place as quickly as possible. If you are stranded on the roadside, turn on your flashers and raise your hood. Once you are safely situated, you can change to your spare or call for roadside assistance. Remember, driving for even a very short distance on a deflated tire will damage the tire beyond repair. Trust your friends at SJ Tire Company in Englewood, CO to fix or replace a tire and get you back on the road quickly.
Tires are no longer just rubber and oil. Instead, they are made up of several layers of materials, each playing its own role in how the tire functions. Today’s tires last longer and are less prone to dangerous blowouts than older tires. They are also better at maintaining contact with the road and can even help a car’s performance. Choosing the right tires has drastically changed over the years. As an example, a vehicle towing heavy weight will need a high load rating tire. If a vehicle is driven in an area with heavy rain or snow, you might prefer to purchase tires with a better traction rating, the life expectancy of a tire depends on road conditions, driving habits, usage, and the type of tire. Your tires need to be changed at the very least every 6 years. The rubber in the tires dries out over time. This can lead to cracking, greater stress on the tire’s infrastructure, and catastrophic failure. A great drive starts with properly installed tires! At SJ Tire Company in Englewood, we have professionally trained staff on hand to provide the best tires and tire installation in the industry.
Your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure in your tires. This system uses real-time tire pressure information to alert you if there is a tire pressure problem. If your tire pressure drops to an unsafe level, it will alert you via a light or warning message. Many systems will also tell you which tire is low. Low tire pressure is not only a safety issue, but it will also drastically shorten the life of a tire. Tire pressure sensors are powered by a non-serviceable battery and will eventually fail due to low battery voltage. The average lifespan of a tire pressure sensor is seven to nine years. It’s also recommended that sensors be replaced or properly serviced when new tires are installed. At SJ Tire Company we have the tools, equipment, training, and knowledge to properly service or diagnose your Tire Pressure Monitoring System. We would be happy to handle all of your tire service needs in Englewood and the surrounding areas today.
While you drive, your tires wear at different rates due to steering. The most notable wear occurs on the front tires. Regular tire rotation can keep the wear on your tires even, improving fuel economy, ensuring proper handling, and extending the life of your tires. Depending on the vehicle, your tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 10,000 miles. The Englewood tire experts at SJ Tire Company can quickly and professionally rotate your tires at your convenience.
Your tires connect you directly to the road surface and are the single most important safety item on your vehicle. Today’s tires are designed specifically for certain types of vehicles, road conditions, and weather conditions. Advancements in technology have also created tires that last longer, stop faster, and run more quietly than ever before. Newer all-season tires can provide good all-around weather traction. However, if you spend a lot of time driving in slippery winter conditions, a good snow tire can make a very noticeable improvement in handling. As a tire wears, its ability to provide traction in wet or slippery conditions diminishes accordingly. When a tire reaches less than 3/32 of an inch of tread, it should be replaced for safety reasons. Tires should also be replaced if they have severe uneven tread wear, cuts, cracks, or bulges on the side walls, have been run flat, or are more than six years old. Quality tires can make your drive time safer and more enjoyable. Have the tire experts at SJ Tire Company explain your tire options today.
