Mobile Tire Changes

Key Takeaways:

  1. Spring Tire Changes: As temperatures rise above 7 °C and winter ends, it's time to schedule your spring tire changes and wheel swaps. Mobile-Tire Inc. offers premium mobile tire and rim services, sending certified technicians to your location for convenient tire replacement.
  2. Seasonal Considerations: The Greater Toronto Area experiences significant seasonal variations, making it beneficial to invest in a separate set of rims for different tire sets. This reduces costs, speeds up the changeover process, and maintains wheel integrity for optimal performance.
  3. Tire Tread and Age: Monitor tire tread depth regularly to ensure safety. While the legal minimum tread depth is 1.5 mm in Ontario, the industry recommends a minimum of 3.5 mm. Additionally, even if tires are rarely used, aging rubber can degrade, making it necessary to replace tires older than 5 to 7 years.
  4. Wheel Balancing: Alongside tire changes, proper wheel balancing is crucial for ride quality, tire longevity, and suspension component health. Balanced wheels prevent vibrations, uneven wear, and reduced traction, enhancing overall driving safety and performance.
  5. Mobile-Tire Benefits: Utilizing Mobile-Tire Inc. for spring changeovers offers a smart investment in vehicle safety and performance. Replacing tires, considering a set of rims, and regular wheel balancing ensures optimal road contact and a well-performing vehicle.

 

Spring is Here

As winter ends and the temperature rises above 7 °C, it is time to begin booking your spring tire changes & wheel swaps. Mobile-Tire Inc. is your premium mobile tire & rim service for wheel securement this spring.

Seasonal Tire Changes

The Greater Toronto Area experiences significant seasonal tire changes throughout the year. Therefore, investing in a set of rims for your second set of tires is worthwhile to reduce the annual cost of tire changes, make the changeover process quicker, and maintain the integrity of your wheel assemblies. When each tire has its own rim, you will save time and money in the long run and achieve the highest performance from your wheels. Mobile-Tire Inc. offers a wide selection of new rims to match your fitment specifications, personal style, and budget. Contact us today via email, phone or text to receive professional consultation for rims and tires best suited to you and your vehicle.

 

Tire Tread Depth & Age

The legal minimum tire tread depth is 1.5 mm in Ontario, but the industry-recommended minimum is 3.5 mm. Insert a certified tread depth indicator into the tire tread groove to determine if your tires meet industry standards; if the measurement reads below 3.5 mm, your tires are worn down and need replacement. Even if your tires rarely get driven, check them regularly as they age because the rubber deteriorates over time. Department of Transport (DOT) standards recommend replacing tires older than 5 to 7 years from their manufacturing date, regardless of how much tread they have left because of rubber degradation. You can ensure your vehicle is safe to drive and reduce the risk of accidents due to poor road traction by regularly monitoring the tread depth and replacing old/bald tires.

 

Wheel Balancing

In addition to swapping your wheels and changing your tires, it is essential to get your wheels balanced for optimum ride quality, tire wear management, and the prolonged lifespan of suspension components. Unequalized wheel assemblies can cause vibrations, road noise, uneven wear, and reduced traction. Many people choose to have their wheels balanced every season, especially if they drive often or live in an area with rough roads like Toronto. By getting your wheels balanced every season, you will ensure that your vehicle performs at its best and keep you, your passengers, and your community safe on the road.
