New Tires, Rotations, and Flat Repairs in Akron, NY: What You Should Know This Spring

Spring is a good time to think about your tires. After months of cold temperatures, snow, ice, and rough roads, they've been through a lot. A quick look at your tires now can save you real trouble down the road, especially as driving picks up heading into summer.

Here at Summit Truck & Auto in Akron, tires are one of the most common things we help folks with this time of year. Here's a breakdown of what to think about.

Tire Rotation

If you haven't had your tires rotated in a while, spring is a great time to get it done. Regular rotations help your tires wear evenly, which extends their life and saves you money over the long run. Most vehicles benefit from a rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, roughly in line with your oil changes.

Is It Time for New Tires?

Take a look at your tread. If it's getting low, or if you can see uneven wear across the tire, it might be time to replace them. Worn tires are a safety issue, especially in wet spring and summer weather when roads can get slick fast.

We carry quality tires at Summit and can help you find the right fit for your vehicle and your budget. We'll be straight with you about what you actually need.

Flat Tire Repair

Sometimes it's not about replacement, just a fix. If you've picked up a nail or a screw and the tire is still in good shape, we can often patch it for a lot less than buying a new one. Come see us before you assume the worst.

TPMS Service

Your tire pressure monitoring system is what alerts you when a tire is low. If that light is on, or if it came on during the winter and hasn't gone off, we can diagnose and service the TPMS system as well.
