The tires on your Volkswagen are the only parts of your vehicle that ever actually touch the ground, which makes them unique. It also means that they require special care to ensure that they are in exceptional shape. After all, if your tires are in poor condition, it can cause all sorts of problems and create safety hazards that can make your daily drive perilous. Fortunately, our Volkswagen service center serving Grapevine, TX and Irvine, TX is here to help with all your tire care needs.
When to Replace Your Tires
Your tires should be replaced if they start to show signs of damage or excessive wear and tear. One of the easiest ways to see if your tires are too worn out and in need of replacement is to check tread depth. Your tires have tire wear bars that show up when your tires get to the point where they need to be replaced, and you can also use the coin test to check tread depth. Additionally, you should keep the age of your tires in mind. Tires typically only last five or six years Because the rubber breaks down over time, so they should be replaced regularly even if they appear to have good tread.
When to Schedule Tire Rotations
It's generally a good idea to rotate your tires every 6,000 miles or so. We recommend getting a tire rotation at the same time as an oil change because you typically need those services around the same time anyway and it makes it easier to remember. Regular tire rotations help your tires wear out evenly, which helps them last longer and allows you to get more out of them before you need to replace your tires here at our Volkswagen dealership serving Fort Worth, TX and Dallas.
Why Does My Volkswagen Need Wheel Alignments?
Your wheels fall out of alignment gradually as you drive. They might also be knocked out of alignment if you hit a particularly nasty pothole or drive over the curb. If your wheels are misaligned, it can have devastating effects on your tires and force you to replace your tires sooner than you would normally need to, which can be costly. Regular alignment checks and adjustments help to avoid this problem.
