How do I know if I need to get my tires repaired or replace them?

Tire issues highly jeopardize your driving experience, putting you and your passengers at a higher risk of an accident. If you get a flat or worn out tire, you will either have to get the tire repaired or replaced entirely.

The most obvious sign of a damaged tire is a loss of air pressure, which could cause air to leak out slowly or all at once. Leaks sometimes do not originate from a puncture or cut in the tire; the source of the leak could be the valve stem on the tire that has worn out over time. For punctured tires, the tire can most likely be repaired with a patch or a plug and doesn't have to be completely replaced. However, tires with a cracked or split sidewall cannot be safely repaired and the tire will need to be replaced. Whether you are driving in St. Catharines, Fonthill, Jordan, Lincoln, Niagara Falls, or anywhere else, you do not want to be stuck with a flat or damaged tire.

Like any part of your vehicle, your tires can wear out over time. Here are some signs your tires need to be replaced soon:

  • Your tires are bald (they've lost tread and are flat on the surface).
  • Your tires' sidewalls have cracks. The sidewalls can wear down over time due to rain, ice, and natural aging.
  • Your car is constantly shaking, even on smooth roads.
  • You've been driving with a spare tire for a while. Spare tires are not as durable as regular tires and provide less traction and less cornering ability.
  • You have cords showing. If any cords from your tires are showing, this is a sure sign that they need to be replaced.

If you are in St. Catharines, Fonthill, Jordan or surrounding areas and notice that one or more of your tires is over-inflated, under-inflated, or are tilted horizontally or vertically, bring your car to Boyd Automotive & Tire today and we can assess and repair the issue. We can also determine if your car needs additional services, such as oil changes, fluid services and tune-ups or transmission repair.
