Save money on tires

Laura Hasney - Tuesday, October 18, 2011


Who wouldn't want to save a little money nowadays? Tire maintenance will save you money on tires. One very important thing to remember is maintaining the proper air pressure in your car tires. Low pressure can makes tires wear out faster, and it can lead to tires overheating, risking a dangerous failure at speed. It takes only a couple minutes every month to check your tire pressure. And don’t forget to check the spare; you don’t want to wait until you get a flat to find out it needs air, too.

Summer driving remember your tires!

Summer driving, time to check your tires!

Tires are just as important in the summer months of driving as winter. As the temperature goes up so does the pressure in your tires. For each 10 degrees the temperature goes up the tire pressure goes up approximately one pound. If you plan to do any hauling or carrying excessive loads in your vehicle check your owner's manual for the recommend tire pressure for heavy loads. Remember to check your tires cold before you head out on your trip. Save summer travels!

Tire Rotations are important

Laura Hasney - Tuesday, May 31, 2011


Protect Your Investment

Tire rotation can be beneficial in several ways. When done at the recommended times, it can preserve balanced handling and traction and even out tire wear. Tire rotation can even provide performance advantages.

Many tire mileage warranties require tire rotation to keep the warranty valid. When should tires be rotated? We recommend that tires be rotated every 6,000 miles even if they don't show signs of wear. Tire rotation can often be done with oil change intervals while the vehicle is off the ground. This can also be a good time to have your tires rebalanced. It's also a good time to inspect the tires for any damage, remove stones or debris from the tire treads, check for uneven wear by checking the tire tread depth and of course, checking your tire pressure.

Tire rotation helps even out tire wear by allowing each tire to serve in as many of the vehicle’s wheel positions as possible. Remember, tire rotation can’t correct wear problems due to worn mechanical parts or incorrect inflation pressures.

Adirondack Tire offers FREE tire rotations every 6,000 miles for the life of the tires. Protect your investment and schedule your rotation.

Are you rotating your tires every 6,000 miles?

Laura Hasney - Tuesday, March 01, 2011


Tire rotation is essential to achieve even tread wear and maximum tread life. On front-wheel-drive cars, for example, most of the braking, steering and driving forces are carried by the front tires, which inevitably wear much faster.

A "cross-rotation pattern"—that is, moving the left-front tire to the right-rear axle, the right-front tire to the left-rear axle, etc.—can best balance tread wear and maximize tire life. That sequence can be performed on any vehicle equipped with four non-unidirectional tires. Designated by an arrow on the sidewall, unidirectional tires must be rotated only front to rear and rear to front, on the same side of the vehicle, so their direction of revolution does not change.

All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles are best suited to a lateral rotation—left to right and right to left—at the same end of the vehicle.
