"When is the right time to change my tires?" This is a question Hoffman Estates, IL area drivers often have for the service team at Audi of Hoffman Estates. Tire replacement is an essential part of maintaining the high-performance level of any Audi vehicle, which is why our team decided to put together a list of five signs to look for before scheduling tire service at our Audi dealership.
- Tread Wear. Tire tread is essential, especially when driving on slick roads of Hoffman Estates, IL due to rain showers and winter months. If your tires have wear bars, you'll be able to tell it's time to change your tires when you see the rubber bars appear. Otherwise, take a penny and stick it into the tire's tread. If you can see Lincoln's head, it's time to bring in your vehicle for tire service.
- Cracks in the Sidewall. The sidewall is the side of the tire where the tire logo is located. If Hoffman Estates, IL drivers spot any cuts or cracks in the sidewall, it could mean a leak or blowout may occur in the near future.
- Bulges and Bumps. It's time to change tires if you notice any large lumps or bulges on the side. These could be popping up due to low tire pressure or a slow air leak.
- Low Tire Pressure. As any Hoffman Estates, IL driver knows, temperatures can get extremely hot in the summer and cold in the winter. In both cases, your tires get deflated; so if tire pressure isn't the same as what's recommended by the decal in your glove box, it's time to seek out tire services.
- Vibration. Excessive vibration while driving is never a good sign, so Hoffman Estates, IL drivers should take their vehicle in for tire services immediately after they notice it. If the shaking is coming from under the seats, it may be a sign that the rear tires need to be changed, specifically.
If Hoffman Estates, IL drivers notice any of these issues, they can trust the service department at our dealership to handle any tire services they may require. Getting a tire rotation from our team is an effective way to avoid faulty tires. Tire rotations involve moving the tires in a manufacturer-specified pattern, resulting in a number of benefits.
- Wear is more distributed among tires.
- Tire traction is improved when wear is even among tires.
- Routine tire rotation may mean less need for overall tire replacement.
To get any questions answered or to schedule a tire replacement or tire rotation, Hoffman Estates, IL residents can contact our service department by phone or through our website.
