Mobile Tire Repair and Replacement

When to replace your tires

Wrench recommends new tires at a tread depth of 4/32 inch or below. If you notice abnormal wearing patterns or reduced fuel efficiency (lower mpg), you may also be ready for a new set of tires. New tires can improve gas mileage and increase your safety on the road. Even before tires are completely worn out, your car starts to lose traction while driving, especially in adverse weather conditions. Let us help you find and install your next set of tires.

How and why your tires wear down

• Location If you live in a wet, hot or humid climate, your tires tend to wear faster than other areas. If you often drive over mud, snow or loose terrain, your tires could be in worse shape than you think. City streets also contain nails and other hazards that can cause flat tires or low tire tread.
• Driving style If you tend to drive at a fast speed and accelerate often with hard braking this can cause your tires to slip or spin, which in turn will make them wear down faster.
• Driving frequency If you are a daily commuter who tends to drive farther distances, your tires will wear down quickly with higher frequency of use.
• Improper tire inflation If your tires aren’t at the correct pressure, they’ll wear out very quickly. Proper tire inflation will ensure your tires are able to handle your vehicle's weight, distribution, braking and other external forces. If your tires are out of whack, the tread may wear out quickly or unevenly when you brake or turn in a certain direction. Additionally, you’ll actually lose grip with the road if your tires aren’t at the right pressure.
• Misalignment of tires Wheel and tire alignment ensures your vehicle travels in the correct direction without leaning or misalignment. Have you ever been driving down the road and noticed that your car was pulling to the right? Odds are one of your tires is misaligned. When your car is out of alignment, your tires contact the road at the wrong angle, causing the inside or outside or your tires to wear down quickly and unevenly.

Choosing the right tire

When you book your service with Wrench, consider which factors matter to you...

• Sport and Performance Will you be tracking or auto-crossing your car? Hitting the mountain pass on the weekends? Consider Sport and Performance tires to get the most out of your car's handling. Keep in mind traction often comes at the cost of tread-life, and you will often need to replace these tires more frequently.
• Daily use Do you drive your car daily to commute? Do you use your vehicle fairly frequently? You will want to account for all weather conditions and mileage of your travels - more miles equals more chance to get a puncture, encounter puddles, rough roads, debris, etc.
• Longevity / Durability If you often drive in harsh environments or your city streets have more craters than the moon, you'll want to look for a tire that will be more durable and last longer.
• Driving conditions Do you drive over mud, snow or loose terrain on a regular basis? We've got a tire for that! Having the right tire for the terrain will make-or-break your day.
• Low cost If you opt for a lower cost tire, often times there might not be any warranty available from the manufacturer. Consider if this is important to you and your vehicle.
• Tire brand You can also shop different brands of new tires. Wrench’s tire specialists can source all major brands and even hard to find specialty tires.
