Frequently Asked Questions About Tires:

Tire Repair: The most effective method of tire repair is the patch repair. For damage larger than a nail hole (1/4 of an inch and larger) the tire should be removed from service. This method of repair reduces the number of tire failures and is the only method used by Skip's Tire & Auto Centers.

Flat repairs are free on any tires purchased at Skip's. Skip's also offers free flat repairs on most tires with the installation of a Skip's license plate frame!

Tire Rotation: Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of switching the position of each tire on the car. Tire rotation helps to equalize tread wear and is critical to gain the maximum life from your tire investment. For maintenance tips and suggestions, you should refer to your owner's manual for the recommended rotation interval and pattern; generally a rotation interval of 4,000 miles is recommended. The rotation pattern varies with different makes and models, which shows the tire locations during rotation. Some vehicles have different size tires on the front and back or directional tires. This limits the locations that a tire may take on the vehicle. When in doubt, check the owner's manual or consult a professional technician for guidance. Tire rotation time also offers a good opportunity to have the tires and wheels balanced. It's another step you can take to maximize your tire investment.

Wheel Balance: Wheel balance refers to the proper distribution of weight around a revolving tire and wheel assembly. Poor wheel balance can have a marked impact on both your car and your safety. Proper wheel balance ensures that the wheels, while spinning, do not have a heavy spot that can cause vibration and premature wear of tires, struts, shocks and other steering and suspension components. When combined with proper wheel alignment, balanced wheels ensure smooth and enjoyable driving. Our maintenance tips and suggestions: The most common signs of unbalanced tires are vibration and noise problems. When driving with an out-of-balance wheel, the wheel literally bounces down the road rather than spinning smoothly. This can affect the speed, handling and mileage of your car. Many of today's cars have lightweight suspension systems and are therefore, more sensitive to imbalance than older cars. It's a good idea to have your car's wheels balanced about once a year. It's not uncommon for wheels to lose a wheel weight from time to time; so periodic balancing minimizes the impact of unbalanced wheels on your car.
