EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TIRES: A GUIDE FOR DRIVERS IN THE GREATER LANSING AREA

Tires are more than just rubber; they’re the unsung heroes that keep your vehicle moving safely and efficiently. Whether you’re heading to the Frandor Shopping Center or navigating the streets of East Lansing, choosing and maintaining the right tires is essential. At A&D Repair Inc., we’re here to make sure you’re equipped with the knowledge to keep your tires rolling smoothly in the Greater Lansing Area.

Finding the Right Tires for Your Vehicle

Passenger Cars

Imagine this: You’re driving through East Lansing’s busy streets, and your car’s tires hug the road like a dream. That’s what the best tires for passenger cars can do! Look for options with excellent grip for cornering and braking, ensuring a comfortable and safe ride for your daily commutes.

SUVs and CUVs

Planning an off-road adventure or braving Michigan’s unpredictable weather? SUVs and CUVs require tires designed for versatility. Highway Terrain (H/T) tires are ideal for these vehicles, offering road-hugging properties and the durability needed for all road conditions.

Light Trucks

For light trucks, tires must work as hard as you do. They should handle heavy loads, last long, and provide exceptional grip in any weather. Whether you’re tackling job sites or road trips, the right tires make all the difference.

Things You Might Not Know About Tires

• Tire Width Matters: Narrow tires may improve fuel efficiency, but wide tires enhance cornering grip and aesthetics, especially in summer. Choose the width that fits your driving style and preferences.
• Run-Flat Tires: These are lifesavers during a puncture, allowing you to drive up to 50 miles (or more, depending on the design). However, always consult your owner’s manual for specifics.

The 3 Musts for Tire Maintenance

Proper tire maintenance isn’t just a good habit; it’s essential for your safety and your car’s performance. Here’s what to focus on:

Pressure

Underinflated tires cause stress, uneven wear, and loss of control. Don’t let this silent issue catch you off guard! Check your tire pressure monthly or before long trips.

Alignment

Ever hit a pothole near Frandor and felt your car pull to one side? That’s a sign your alignment might be off. Regular alignment checks help prevent tire damage and keep your car handling perfectly.

Tread

Your tire’s tread is its grip on the road. Advanced wear reduces traction, especially in Michigan’s rain and snow. Check for uneven wear and replace tires when necessary to maintain safety.
