The most common tires around Dayton are all-season tires. They are well-suited for nearly every vehicle and most driving conditions. Summer tires are also available but are usually found on performance vehicles during warm weather. Winter or snow tires are also available for maximum winter driving control.
Finding the right tire size is key; the information you need can be found on the tire or inside the driver's door.
The series of numbers and letters on your tire indicate the type of tire and the size. You commonly see a P for passenger, although LT for light truck is also common. The number next to the P is the tire's width in millimeters. The next two numbers are the aspect ratio of the sidewall height to the width. Next, you'll see an R for radial, the construction used to make the tire. Rarely you'll see D for diagonal or B for belted, but these are specialty tires. Next is the rim size in inches. After that is the load rating; the larger the number (up to 125), the more load the tires can take. Finally, the speed rating is T, which is most common with a speed rating of up to 130 mph. Speed rating can vary from A being the lowest to Y being the highest.
Rotating your tires at every oil change is advised.
You should replace your tires at the first sign of damage or when wear is evident.
When your wear bars are even with the tread, you should replace your tires. This means you have 1/16th of an inch or less on your treads.
Using a tire pressure gauge you can pick up in any automotive aisle or store around Centerville, simply unscrew the cap and press it onto the valve stem.
run-flat tires are designed to function at slow speeds in an emergency; regular tires should not be driven on when flat.
Balancing your tires and aligning your wheels keep your tires wearing evenly so you have to replace them less often. It also reduces vibrations, prolonging the life of other parts of your car. Balancing your tires and aligning your wheels makes for a quieter drive around Fairborn. Balanced tires and aligned wheels also improve handling and fuel economy. All of these combined to make for a safer driving experience.
