Capital Mitsubishi - Tire Repair

Tires are the critical connection between your car and the road in all sorts of driving conditions.

Tips for tire repair services:

• - Check tire pressure at least once a month

• - Tire rotation services as a good time to have the tires balanced. Unbalanced wheels can cause rapid wear of shock absorbers and struts. 

• - Wheel balance can change as a result of normal tire wear.

• - On all-wheel drive vehicles, a difference of only ¼" between the outside circumference of the front and rear tires can cause extensive damage to the transfer case or centre differential. Rotating the tires helps to keep their sizes equal and is critical on these vehicles, and replacing all four tires at the same time, rather than just the front or rear tires, is highly recommended.

• - Uneven or accelerated tire wear may indicate an alignment problem. Have your car’s alignment checked at least once a year.

To maximize tire life and safety, check tire pressure and inflation pressure regularly and have the tires rotated and balanced. Tire replacement may be necessary if the tread depth is below the legal minimum requirement, or the sidewalls are severely cracked or punctured. In some cases, tread punctures cannot be repaired.

Tire FAQs

How often should I check the tire inflation pressure?

You should check at least once a month, and don't forget to check the spare, too!

Can I just replace one or two tires?

We recommend replacing all four tires at once to keep wear consistent.

How can I tell if I need tires?

If there’s uneven wear, cracking or bulging, anything poking into the tire, tread pulling away from the body of the tire, or worn treads that don’t pass the “penny test,” you should look into purchasing a new set.

Can I just use all-weather tires?

Snow tires are manufactured to handle harsh winter weather better than all-weather tires. It is easier to drive on an incline, on ice, and to make unexpected stops. The decision to drive on all-weather tires is yours but we always recommend winter tires where possible.
