A Lot of Thought Goes into Your Tires

Tires provide traction, control, and comfort. They help support the weight of the vehicle and are the only point of contact between the vehicle and the road. To meet the needs of different vehicles and driving conditions, tire manufacturers must carefully consider the tread design, materials, and construction of a tire. You don't see everything that goes into a tire's engineering, but you will experience the results.

The outermost layer of a tire is the tread, which comes into direct contact with the road surface. The tread pattern affects how the tire grips the road, disperses water, and resists wear. Tread compounds are carefully formulated to provide the right balance of traction, durability, and fuel efficiency. Under the tread is the belt package. Here, steel belts provide strength and stability for the tire and help it to maintain its shape, especially during cornering. The belts also resist punctures from road debris and are often reinforced with materials like nylon or polyester to enhance their strength.

The body of the tire, known as the carcass, also contributes to the shape and flexibility of the tire. It is typically made of layers of fabric cords (such as polyester, rayon, or aramid) embedded in rubber. The carcass absorbs shocks from the road and helps maintain the tire's structural integrity. It is located above the inner liner, a layer of rubber that seals the tire and maintains air pressure. The liner serves as a barrier that prevents air from escaping and helps maintain the tire's shape.

Take Care of Them with Tire Services in Fort Myers, FL

Tire services play a role in everything from tire performance and longevity to driver and passenger comfort. At Johnny Myers Discount Tires and Auto Repair, we provide tire services to keep you rolling, starting with tire purchase and installation. Choose from a great selection of tires that complement your vehicle, driving needs, and budget. Our team is on hand to answer any questions and assist you in locating the right tires for your vehicle and installing them properly.

Wheel balancing is another service we provide. Balancing prevents vibrations that affect the comfort and stability of your ride. Even a small imbalance between a tire and its wheel can cause vibrations in the steering wheel or the seat of the vehicle, especially at higher speeds. These vibrations not only affect the comfort of the ride but can also lead to premature wear on the suspension components and tires.

Another service available at Johnny Myers Discount Tires and Auto Repair in Fort Myers, FL is tire rotation, which helps distribute wear more evenly across all tires, extending their lifespan and improving performance. This is the practice of moving the tires from one position to another at regular intervals. Rotating tires will extend the overall lifespan of the tires.

Should you need it, we can also assist with tire repairs. Not all tires are eligible for repair (it depends on the location of the puncture, length, and depth), but if tire repair is possible, it can save you from having to replace one or more tires early. On modern vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) provides an alert when it detects that tire pressure is low. This can be due to a flat or from temperature changes. Either way, you want to address the issue. Properly inflated tires are better for fuel efficiency and handling while also reducing the risk of tire blowouts.

Wheel alignment is another service we provide that benefits tires. Alignment plays a role in vehicle handling, steering response, and tire wear. Our service center uses advanced equipment from Hunter to correct misalignment issues that can lead to uneven tire wear. It's a good idea to have your alignment inspected when you install new tires, so you can address any issues before they take a toll on your new purchase.
