NISSAN TIRES
BIGGEST BRANDS. BEST PRICES. GUARANTEED.
Although it can be time-consuming and expensive, tire replacement is a necessary part of car maintenance. When you bring your car in to get the tires serviced at Flagstaff Nissan there are several things we will do. We will check how worn down the tread is and if there are any bald or damaged areas. Another part of a routine tire check is rotation - switching the tires around, so they are worn evenly on the road. If one or more tires need replacing, the tire replacement cost will include the cost of the tire or tires and fitting. If you are unsure if it is time for replacement tires, your vehicle's mileage is a good indicator. Tires are safe for a limited time, at which time they will need replacing.

WHY GET TIRE REPLACEMENTS?
The ability to control a vehicle depends on the grip between the tires and road surface. Tires do not require tread designs or even considerable tread depth to provide grip on dry surfaces. However, tires do require tread designs with sufficient depth to generate traction on wet, snow-covered and slushy roads. So tread design essential to guide water and slush from between the tire and the surface of the road.
When water pools on the road surface, the depth of the water, the speed of the vehicle, and weight of the car, as well as the design and depth of the tires' tread mutually govern when and if the vehicle will hydroplane and how quickly a vehicle can stop in an emergency.
Naturally, the tire tread will wear down over the life of the tire, and decrease the depth of its grooves. While this occurs so slowly that you will not notice it visibly on a day-to-day basis, eventually there will come a time when you will detect the car slip in the snow, aquaplane in the wet or just not stop in as efficiently on slippery surfaces. If the water is unable to escape fast enough, your tires will be forced to aquaplane (float) on top of the water, resulting in a loss of traction and increased stopping lengths.
TYPES OF TIRE REPLACEMENTS
As a rule of thumb, different tire types should not be on a vehicle simultaneously. Owners should not mix tires with different tread designs, internal structures or sizes, and use matching tires on all of the vehicle's wheels to sustain the best stability and control. Furthermore, drivers should never operate a vehicle with winter tires, and summer tires fitted together, or mix non-run-flat tires with run-flat tires.
The best choice is to replace your tires with the exact tire that the manufacturer fitted to the vehicle. The manufacturer of the car will have placed a tire specification plaque, usually, inside the driver's door opening, stating the ratings, size and air pressures for the tires recommended for this vehicle. Follow these specifications to the letter when replacing your tires and you will have years of safe, trouble-free motoring.
The tires supplied with your vehicle are covered against defects in material or quality under the warranty coverage of your new car. Normal wear is not, and that may occur before the vehicle warranty expires and replacement will be at your cost.
Most tire manufacturers today offer a limited tire warranty on new tires to cover you from road hazards like sharp road debris causing cuts and punctures, or flats from deep pothole damage for the first few months or even in some cases the life of the tire.

HOW IT WORKS
If you drive only a few thousand miles a year, but it is mostly in an urban environment, you will be required to replace or at the very least inspect your brake system more often than if you drive many thousands of miles a year in open, rural areas. You will use your brakes more frequently in urban situations than driving on a rural highway. Regrettably, no pre-set schedule tells you when it is time to replace your brakes, so you need to trust your ears and the advice of a professional automotive technician. As a rule of thumb, most vehicles will have their tires rotated every six months or so, and that is an excellent time to have the brakes inspected. A technician can check if the remaining material of the pads is adequate and the condition of the brake discs or drums to see if any wear is evident.
Many vehicles today have in-built wear devices that scrape against a brake drum or disc when the pads or shoes need replacing. An annoying noise will emit when you apply the brakes giving you an audible warning that the brakes are worn out. Other signs are pulsing felt through the pedal, longer distances required stopping the vehicle, or when you press the brake pedal to apply the brakes, the pedal goes down further. Because brake pads and linings wear slowly, you may not notice the decrease in function, so that is where the professional assistance of a technician can help. All vehicles have a brake warning light that illuminates briefly every time you start your car. If the warning light comes on while operating the vehicle that more than likely means your braking system has a fault or is low in fluid, or has a problem elsewhere in the system. If this occurs, have the system checked by a professional as soon as possible to avoid accidents or harm to the vehicle.
WHY BRAKE SERVICES ARE IMPORTANT IN WINTER
Owning and operating a car in winter is an essential time of the year for vehicle servicing, particularly, when it comes to inspecting and servicing your car's brakes. Freezing rain, ice, snow, sleet, and black ice make driving a hazardous activity. Without a reliable braking system and a decent set of tires, your vehicle can be a danger to yourself, your passengers, and to other road users.
Winter brake servicing is essential for safeguarding that you can drive safely during colder conditions. Vehicles often have to stop quickly when snow and ice are present on the road. When this occurs, you need to know that your vehicle's brakes will help you stop promptly. Winter will be the time that you may vacation, and you will load your vehicle up with passengers and extra luggage, therefore, increasing the weight of the vehicle and its braking ability. Have your brakes inspected before any long trips to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
