Driving in Apex can cause a lot of wear on your tires, and changing those tires when they reach the end of their life is essential to keep your car driving right. How do you change a car tire, though? And how do you know how often to change car tires? Hendrick Dodge Cary has the answer to both of these questions below. And if you’re shopping for new tires in Cary, our parts people can show you the options that will work perfectly for your car.
Changing Your FIAT, Dodge, Ram Tires
Changing your tires in Carrboro requires a few tools, like a jack, a lug wrench, the tire that’s going on in place of the old one, and your owner’s manual. Replacing your car, truck, or SUV’s tires is a simple process that includes these steps:
If you’re on the side of the road, move your car somewhere safe and put your hazards on.
Put the parking brake on and put the wheel wedges beneath your three good tires.
Remove the wheel cover or hubcap from the tire and loosen the lug nuts.
Use the jack to raise your vehicle and take off the lug nuts.
Take off the current tire and put the new or spare tire on in its place.
Tighten the lug nuts, then place the vehicle back on the ground with the jack.
How Often Should You Change Car Tires?
The answer to how often to change car tires is based on your tire rotation schedule and the quality of your tires. If you get regular rotations, you’ll probably get the full mileage promised in the tires, but you’ll want to check the pressure regularly to keep on the safe side. Excess treadwear means it’s time for new tires. Schedule service with us and we’ll get your tires rotated quickly and cheaply.
How Many Miles Can You Go on a Spare Tire?
If you’ve got a spare on your car, get a new tire promptly! You’ll get 50 miles max out of the spare tire and if you drive at more than 50 mph, you’ll be at risk for a dangerous blowout in Chapel Hill that could put your safety at serious risk.
