TIRE MAINTENANCE

Why?

By carefully monitoring tire wear patterns, you can help catch problems with your tires and with your suspension, steering or wheels; wear is also a good indicator of how much life is left in tires.

When?

  • When an oil change is performed
  • If you begin to have traction and/or fuel economy issues.
  • If you are experiencing any symptoms of vibration or wobbling.

What's included?

  • Visual inspection of tire tread to detect problems with the tires and other components of the car.

TIRE PRESSURE

Why?

The most frequent cause of tire failure is under-inflation. Even extreme under-inflation can be hard to detect visually, so always use a tire pressure gauge.

When?

Check tire pressures at least twice a month -- especially after sudden temperature changes. Check when tires are cold (i.e. when the vehicle has been driven fewer than 2km).

What's included?

  • Measure tire pressure on all four tires, and ensure that it meets factory specifications.
  • Have an accurate and easy-to-read tire gauge in your car at all times.
  • Check your owner's manual for the recommendations for your vehicle.

TIRE ROTATION

Why?

Having your tires rotated will help ensure driving comfort and maintain the life of your tires.

When?

  • Based on industry average, tire rotation is recommended every 10,000 km.
  • Tire rotation every 10,000 km is FREE when you buy tires and get them installed at Canadian Tire Auto Service Centres.

What's included?

  • Rotating the tires as per manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Inspecting for tire damage.
  • Adjusting pressure to manufacturer's specifications.
  • Correcting torque of the wheel lug nuts to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Additional charge may apply if vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
