NEW & USED TIRES

Five signs Your Vehicle Needs New Tires

Tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road and that is why the condition of your tires matters as much as any other part of your car. Your tires will give signs that they need to be replaced. Five signs your car needs new tires:

1. If you place a penny in the tire tread and it is below Abraham Lincoln's head

2. If the cords within your tires are showing 

3. If your car is vibrating at certain speeds

4. If you see cracks and signs of dry rot on your tires

5. If you are experiencing poor handling 

 

There are some vehicle maintenance tasks that some say out-of-sight, out-of-mind; however, replacing your tires is something that you will likely notice right away. New tires drastically improve your overall driving experience. 

 

Here are five benefits of new tires:

1) Benefit #1: Better Handling 

In the Metropolitan Washington DC area, we have a number of highways. Residents regularly drive on the 395, 495, 295, 695, and interstate I66 which means you definitely need the best care possible when it comes to your tires. Worn our tires and low tread deteriorates your vehicle’s performance on the roads and installing new tires can drastically improve the way in which your car feels as you drive on the highways and interstates. 

 

2) Benefit #2: Better Braking

The amount of tread and condition of your tires will affect your vehicle's ability to stop. As your tires tread marks deteriorates, your braking distance becomes longer, especially in poor weather conditions such as rain and snow. When you use Eagle Mobile Tires, you can immediately feel the difference in stopping power, providing confidence and peace of mind that your braking ability is as safe as possible.

 

3) Benefit #3: More Grip on Wet Roads

Heavy rain may seem to pop up out of nowhere, making road conditions deteriorate rapidly. If your tires are old and worn, they are far more likely to lose traction and cause your car to hydroplane. In addition to improving your stopping power, new tires provide better handling and decrease the chances of hydroplaning and losing control of your car. 

 

4 ) Benefit #4: Provide the Opportunity for Other Related Maintenance

 

While our expert technicians at Eagle Mobile Tires are replacing your tires, they can inspect your vehicle for other potential related or unrelated issues, including:

• Your alignment and Suspension

• Tire balance

• Brake pads, rotors, and fluid

• Leaking oil or coolant

• Worn hoses 

• Oil and oil filter conditions

• Other mechanical issues

With new balanced tires, corrected wheel alignment, and new brakes, your vehicle will feel brand new just as the day it was purchased. 

 

5) Benefit 5: New Tires Are Safer

Regardless of road conditions, if your tires are worn, it is a safety hazard for you and other drivers. In rain, snow, or sunshine, your new tires will make you and your car's occupants immediately safer. Driving with worn out tires means you are risking a total blow out which puts yourself in danger as well as those on the road too. Make your vehicle performance better by using Eagle Mobile Tires for your new tires and other tire-related services.
