Answers to All Your Tire Service Questions
Discovering the perfect tire may seem complicated, but it doesn't have to be. With answers to some of the most frequently asked questions and the help of Jeff Wyler Toyota of Clarksville, maintaining your tires or prepping for new ones is a breeze. Find out more below:
What are the different types of tires available?
Tires have different treads and come in various sizes for performance factors, personal preference, and seasons. Winter tires will have a better design to drive in snowy conditions in Sellersburg, whereas a summer tire would not be ideal due to its tread and rubber composition. All-season tires are useful for milder climates without extreme temperature differences.
How do I choose the right tires for my vehicle?
When selecting tires, consider the climate, the type of vehicle, driving conditions, and personal preference. On daily commutes to Louisville, KY, more fuel-efficient tires would be better than ones designed for off-road adventures outside Jeffersonville, IN.
What do the numbers on the sidewall mean?
Numbers on the sidewall display important info such as the tire size, speed rating, construction type, load index, width-to-aspect ratio, and diameter.


How often should I rotate my tires?
For maximum performance and more even wear, rotating tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles is recommended. You may also want to check your tire warranty, since rotation may be a requirement.
When should I replace my tires?
Besides an unrepairable flat, for the best performance and grip on the road, replace your tires if you have about 4/32 inches of tread remaining.
What are the signs that I need new tires?
If you start to skid on wet roads, feel a vibration, or hear a loud noise coming from your tires when driving to New Albany, IN, or beyond, it may be an indicator of needing new tires.
How do I check my tire pressure?
Check your tire pressure easily by looking at the digital tire monitor or air pressure gauge displayed on your dash. If your vehicle doesn't have one, check your tire pressure at an air pump at the gas station or use a manual tire gauge.


What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?
With a flat-run tire, you can continue driving in Clarksville, IN, or elsewhere for a limited time until the puncture is taken care of. If a regular tire is punctured, repair it immediately.
What are the benefits of tire balancing and alignment?
Getting your tires balanced and aligned will reduce vibrations, allow for better fuel efficiency, extend the lifespan, improve vehicle handling, and increase on-the-road safety.
