Make inspecting your car’s tires a regular habit. Examine the tread depth, tire wear, tire pressure and look for any signs of damage. If you notice something wrong, the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Center’s service technicians can either repair the tire or recommend the best new tires near Veradale.

Tires rely on the treads to function correctly. When the road is wet, the grooves in the tires provide traction by directing the water away from the surface of the tires, allowing the car to drive safely. If the grooves are worn, the tires can’t move the water away from the tire surface. This results in hydroplaning, a dangerous situation where the vehicle drives on a sheet of water instead of the road surface. Hydroplaning can cause a serious accident.

An easy way to check your vehicle’s tire tread uses a penny. Hold the penny with Lincoln’s head facing down and push it into the tire’s groove. If part of Lincoln’s head is covered, the tire tread is still good. If it’s not, bring your vehicle to the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Center for a tire inspection.

With so many brands and types of tires available, you may not know which type is best for your vehicle. If you’re happy with the way your car rides and handles, consider sticking with the same type of tires that came with the vehicle. If you’d like to switch to a different kind of tire, visit the Knudtsen Chevrolet Service Department. We’ll be glad to show you the different types of tires that are suitable for your car.
