Service life of tires: myth or reality?

Keep your tires in good condition, it’s important! We’re talking here about your life and the life of the people you are sharing the road with! Even if you own the safest possible vehicle, your tires are the things keeping you in contact with the road. When tires are too worn down or under inflated, every kilometre brings you closer to a loss of control or a tire blowout! Even tires from the most renowned brands have a limited lifespan!

Several elements contribute to tire wear. Abrupt steering with frequent sudden stops and flying starts will wear your tires prematurely. Driving in the summer with your winter tires to save money is really not a good idea. Warm temperatures will only increase treadwear! And what about the state of our roads! A few potholes will soon puncture or burst a tire in already bad condition.

To prevent accidents, avoid driving with under-inflated tires and make sure to regularly check the treadwear. If the edge of the tread on one side shows more wear, it’s possible that it is not inflated enough. To check the tire’s treadwear, you can also insert a quarter in one of the tire grooves by orienting the caribou’s nose toward the bottom of the groove. If you can still see its nose, you should change your tire as soon as possible!

To drive safely in all seasons, trust the inspection and installation of your tires to the service department of a Montreal Spinelli dealer. They are all easily accessible from Laval, the West Island and the North Shore.
