Answers Your Tire Questions

When Should I Change My Tires?

Most tires have a lifespan of six to 10 years, but Florida’s hot weather, heavy downpours, and stop-and-go conditions will wear them down sooner. You can also do a quick test at home by inserting a penny into the tire tread with Lincoln’s head facing down – if you can see the top of his head, then it is time for a replacement. Check for bulges, cracks, or exposed cords because they also signify a problem. After your tires reach the six-year mark, have them checked annually, regardless of whether they appear to be in good condition.

What Causes Uneven Wear on Tires?

If your tires are showing uneven wear, it indicates that your vehicle’s alignment – or the way you drive – is out of whack. The most common culprits are:

• Improper Tire Pressure (Too High or Too Low)
• Aggressive Driving or Rough Braking
• Wheel Misalignment
• Suspension Issues
• Tires Out of Balance

How Often Should Tires Be Rotated?

Rotating your tires every 5,000–7,500 miles provides equal tread wear and balanced handling. Many of our customers have their tires rotated during an oil change to avoid a return trip and maximize their tire life all in one visit.

What’s the Ideal Tire Pressure for My Porsche?

Most Porsches require 32 to 36 PSI, but check the driver’s side door frame for your vehicle’s specific number. Proper tire inflation both improves handling and fuel mileage as well as prolongs tread life. When your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light pops on, we’ll check and fill for free. Don’t worry about making an appointment.
