Checking tire condition and pressure

We check tire tread depth, verify tire pressure according to manufacturer specifications, and inspect the overall wear pattern. Tire tread is designed to channel water, dirt, and slush away from the contact patch so the tire maintains traction with the road. Many drivers overlook this and continue driving on tires where the tread no longer works effectively. Tire pressure is also checked: low pressure typically wears the outer edges of the tire, while overinflated tires wear faster in the center. Incorrect pressure can also cause uneven wear patterns across the tread. This type of inspection is often part of a basic suspension check, and at FIX SERVICE our mechanics always pay attention to tire condition, even if the vehicle came in for a completely different service.
