Check
your tires periodically for excessive or uneven wear. Improper
tire wear can be a symptom of worn or failing steering or
suspension parts, coil springs, shock absorbers or wheel
bearings. It can also be a sign of over inflated or under
inflated tires, excessive toe-in or toe-out, improper camber
angles or a combination of any of the above! If your vehicle is
experiencing bad tire wear of any kind it's time for an
inspection.

Wheel Balancing
The wheels on your car may vibrate or bounce when driving. We'll
check your tires for proper inflation, bent wheel and any other
problem that could occur with your tires. If needed we will
balance your tires by adding the proper amount of weight to
bring your tires back in balance.
Understanding Tire Sidewall Nomenclature
To understand this letter/numeric system,
the above tire sidewall nomenclature has been interpreted for
you so that you may easily identify these tire-sizing dimensions
during your next tire-purchasing decision.
"P," which stands for Metric,
identifies the tire as a passenger car tire. The absence of a
"P" means the tire is defined as a metric tire. And an
"LT" in place of the "P" indicates a light
truck tire.
Next is the tire's section width which is
the measurement of the tire from sidewall to sidewall in
millimeters.
Then comes the two-figure aspect ratio.
This percentage compares the tire's section height with the
tire's section width. For example, this aspect ratio of 70 means
that the tire's section height is 70% of the tire's section
width.
The letter following the aspect ratio
identifies the tire's type of ply construction within the tire's
casing. An "R" stands for radial, a "D"
stands for a diagonal bias tire and a "B" stands for a
belted-bias tire. Mixing radial tires with diagonal bias tires
or belted-bias tires is never recommended.
And the last dimension listed is the
diameter of the wheel rim which is most often measured in
inches.
