When you think of your vehicle's safety systems, you may consider the airbags, the seat belts or the anti-lock brakes. But the tires are probably the most crucial safety equipment in your car. Each tire must carry the load of about a quarter of the car's weight. With this in mind, it's easy to see why it's imperative to keep your vehicle's tires in good condition. Fortunately, if you live in Mount Laurel, new tires are just minutes away at the Burns Hyundai Tire Center in Marlton.
It's very important to inspect your car's tires regularly. Some of the items to check include the air pressure, tread depth, and any signs of damage or wear. If you believe there's a problem with your vehicle's tires, the Burns Hyundai service technicians can repair or replace them with new tires in Mount Laurel.
The tires' tread depth is very important. The grooves supply the traction your car needs to prevent it from skidding on wet roads. The purpose of the grooves is to channel the water away from the surface of the tire. Worn tread is incapable of transferring water away from the surface of the tires. The result is hydroplaning, a dangerous situation where the car rides on a sheet of water instead of solid roadway. Needless to say, hydroplaning can lead to an accident.
There's an easy way to tell if your car's tire tread is too shallow. Grab a penny and hold it with Lincoln's head pointing downward. Press the penny into the tread of the tire. If Lincoln's head is hidden, your tires are still good. If you can see any part of Lincoln's head, it's time to bring your car to the Burns Hyundai Tire Center for a tire inspection.
Pay attention to the age of your car's tires. Some manufacturers maintain that the tires should be replaced every six years. Others recommend replacing them every 10 years, even if the tread looks fine. Take your car to the tire pros at the Burns Hyundai Tire Center, and we'll inspect them. If the tires need to be replaced, we'll explain the different options for your vehicle and your budget.
If you're happy with your Hyundai's ride and handling, the best option is to stick with the same tires that were on the vehicle when you bought it. If you're considering switching to another type of tire, we'll help you determine which ones will work best.
There are a variety of tire brands on the market, with a range of prices. It's always a good idea to buy high-quality tires. In this case, you really do get what you pay for.
