Additional Topics of Interest:
•Tire "Siping" -
The process cuts thousands of gripping edges across the tire
tread, which significantly enhances all-season traction and
stopping power. The sipping process minimizes heat
build-up and hydroplaning.
•Air Pressure Regulation -
Keeping the correct air pressure
in your tires is as important as giving your engine a tune up. With the
right amount of air pressure, tires wear longer, save fuel, enhance
handling and prevent accidents.
• Only Replacing 2 Tires? -
Discount Tire recommends mounting
them on the rear. Deeper tread with greater hydroplaning resistance helps
new tires grip wet roads. The driver can steer to compensate for the
lower wet traction of the worn front tires and safely maintain control.
•Plus Sizing -
For greater lateral stability and increased
steering response, plus sizing is one of the easiest ways to achieve
enhanced performance and improve the appearance of your vehicle.
Converting to a plus 1 size would mean increasing the wheel diameter
by 1" and selecting an appropriate tire to fit. It is important to
note that although the wheel diameter is increasing, the overall
diameter of the tire remains consistent.
• Tire Repair -
For safety, tires are only repaired in
accordance with RMA's (Rubber Manufacturers Association) Recommended
Procedures.
• Ride Matching -
When a wheel and tire are mounted together
they are seldom joined at the one ideal spot. Each of these units, though
they may be built to specification, can add to the slight error of the
other. As they spin together, the tire and wheel are exerting forces
simultaneously in different directions generating a vibration. Ride
Matching measures these forces and calculates how a particular wheel
and tire pairing should be matched. The source of this disturbance
cannot be sensed during wheel balancing. The Ride Matching process
takes a skilled operator approximately 20 minutes to perform on a
set of tires and wheels. The process will improve ride quality,
performance and wear.
