FAQs - Answers to All Your Tire Service Questions

At Jeff Wyler Fairfield Auto Mall, we know tires are essential for your vehicle's performance, safety, and efficiency. Our comprehensive FAQ guide answers your most pressing tire-related questions.

What are the different types of tires available?

  • All-Season Tires: Versatile and durable, ideal for year-round use around Tri-County, OH.
  • Winter Tires: Engineered for traction in snow and icy conditions.
  • Summer Tires: Designed for superior performance on dry and wet roads during warmer months.
  • Performance Tires: Built for enhanced handling and speed.

How do I choose the right tires for my vehicle?

  • Driving Conditions: Consider the weather and terrain you encounter.
  • Vehicle Type: Your car, truck, or SUV's specifications are essential.
  • Personal Preferences: Some drivers prioritize fuel efficiency, while others focus on performance or comfort.

What do the numbers on the sidewall mean?

Tire sidewall numbers, like 225/65R17 102H, reveal important details:

  • Tire Width: The width of the tire in millimeters (225 in this example).
  • Aspect Ratio: The ratio of height to width (65).
  • Construction: R stands for radial construction.
  • Diameter: The wheel diameter in inches (17).
  • Load Index & Speed Rating: These indicate how much weight the tire can carry and its maximum speed.

How often should I rotate my tires?

Ideally, rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or during every oil change. This ensures balanced tread wear and improved handling. Regular tire rotations at Jeff Wyler Fairfield Auto Mall help Cincinnati drivers maximize performance and prevent premature tire replacement.

When should I replace my tires?

You should replace your tires when:

  • The tread depth falls below 2/32 of an inch.
  • Tires show visible damage, cracks, or bulges.
  • You notice a decline in performance, like reduced grip in wet conditions.

What are the signs that I need new tires?

  • Uneven tread wear or bald spots.
  • Frequent air pressure loss.
  • Vibrations while driving.
  • Reduced traction or hydroplaning in wet conditions.

How do I check my tire pressure?

  1. Use a tire pressure gauge.
  2. Find the recommended PSI on the driver's door frame or in the owner's manual.
  3. Unscrew the valve cap, press the gauge, and read the pressure.
  4. Adjust air pressure as needed.

What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?

Run-flat tires allow you to continue driving for a limited distance after a puncture, typically up to 50 miles at reduced speeds. Regular tires require immediate replacement or repair after a flat.

For drivers in Tri-County, OH, run-flat tires offer added peace of mind, while regular tires often provide a smoother ride. Our experts can help you decide which option suits your lifestyle best.

What are the benefits of tire balancing and alignment?

  • Enhances ride comfort
  • Reduces uneven tire wear
  • Improves fuel efficiency
  • Increases vehicle stability and safety for Hamilton drivers
