We all know that tires wear out with use. The more you drive, the faster they will wear out. Many tire manufacturers advertise 60,000 - 80,000 miles warranty. But in addition to the miles driven, your tires are also subject to the ravages of time.
Tires have a limited lifespan, regardless of use. At Fremont Auto Center we recommend tire replacement every 6 years. This is a good rule-of-thumb to keep in mind as you plan maintenance for your vehicle. Not surprisingly, many tire manufacturers limit their standard tire warranty (against defects in how it was made – like sidewall failure or tread separation) to about 6 years. Typically, your vehicle will travel around 60,000 to 70,000 miles during 6 years, so as you can see, the mileage and age numbers converge.
When you bring your vehicle to our Fremont auto care facility, we will perform a tire tread check and an age check as well. We also look for uneven tire wear, which can indicate alignment problems, or failure to rotate tires regularly. If your vehicle needs new tires, we will show you why (our Digital Vehicle Inspection includes pictures, so you can see on your cell phone or computer what we have found), and we can offer wide range of tire brands, including OEM tires that match what your vehicle was equipped with when it left the factory.
Fremont Auto Center is a premier Fremont car care facility that offers full service for most domestic and foreign vehicles. While we specialize in high-line foreign and American cars, our mechanics are highly experienced, so we can also handle your F-150 pickup, or a Mercedes-Benz Metris van. So if you notice that your vehicle’s tires have seen better days, or if you simply have a question about your car, call Fremont Auto Center – we have humans answering the phones, and we are happy to talk to our clients.
