Road hazards
-In a busy place like Orange County, debris in the road can damage your tires
-Drive carefully and avoid objects on the road
-If you hit something, have your tires checked for damage
-Chunks of tread, damaged tread or sidewalls can suddenly blow out the tire if you do not take -proper care of them
Don’t ever plug your tires
-You would be amazed at how many people think a $20 plug keeps them safe
-High-speed, freeway driving is a plug’s worst enemy. We recommend getting a new tire -instead of a plug.
-Never get a tire plug in a sidewall.
When to replace your tires
-Most states have a tread depth minimum for getting your car inspected
-Since 1968, Federal law has required a built-in 2/32 inch bar to show you the minimum
-The time it takes to stop on a wet road can double when your tires have this minimum tread depth
-Consumer report recommends 4/32 inch
