Tire FAQ's
You’ll need new tires if the Tread Wear Indicators at three or more places around the tire can be seen. We recommend that the tires be inspected for signs of wear or damage at least once a month, and that vehicle owners seek professional service if the following are found:
- Cracks in tire tread or sidewalls
- Cuts in tires that reveal cord or fabric
- Bumps, bulges or splits in tires
- Punctures in tires
- Any other irreparable damage
An underinflated tire can result in overloading and overheating, blowouts, excessive tire wear, poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Overinflated tires also can result in excessive tire wear
Each tire on a vehicle performs a different task, causing them to wear at different rates. Regular tire rotation allows tires to wear evenly, optimizing tire life and allowing tires to be replaced in sets of four, which is preferable.
Our Certified Service experts at WEEKS Chevrolet GMC can recommend tires that are right for your vehicle, your driving habits and your budget.

Weeks Chevrolet GMC provides new tire sales, tire inspections, tire maintenance, and professional tire service in West Frankfort, Illinois. Our Certified Service team can help you select tires based on your Chevrolet or GMC vehicle, tire size, driving conditions, performance requirements, and budget.
The right tires are essential to safe handling, braking, ride comfort, traction, and overall vehicle performance. Choosing tires that match your vehicle's specifications and maintaining them properly can also help promote even tread wear and longer tire life.
How Do You Choose the Right New Tires for Your Vehicle?
The correct tire depends on your vehicle's specifications and how you drive it. Weeks Chevrolet GMC can help identify appropriate tire options using your vehicle information and tire requirements.
- Vehicle year, make, and model
- Recommended tire size
- Load and speed requirements
- Typical driving conditions
- Wet and dry traction needs
- Ride comfort preferences
- Seasonal driving conditions
- Driving habits and mileage
- Available tire budget
Use the tire information label inside the vehicle's doorframe and the owner's manual to verify the manufacturer's recommended specifications before purchasing replacement tires.
Key takeaway: The best replacement tire is one that meets your vehicle's specifications while matching your driving conditions, performance needs, and budget.
When Should You Replace Your Tires?
Tires should be inspected regularly and replaced when tread wear, damage, age, or other conditions indicate that they can no longer provide the performance required for safe driving.
- Visible tread-wear indicators
- Cracks in the tread or sidewalls
- Cuts that expose tire cord or fabric
- Bulges, bumps, or split sidewalls
- Punctures or other damage that cannot be properly repaired
- Abnormal or uneven tread wear
- Persistent vibration or handling concerns
A tire inspection should consider more than tread depth alone. Damage, wear patterns, tire condition, and vehicle alignment can all affect tire performance.
Key takeaway: Replace tires when they show unsafe tread wear or damage, and have questionable tires professionally inspected before continuing to drive on them.
How Does Proper Tire Pressure Affect Vehicle Performance?
Correct tire pressure helps support proper handling, tire wear, ride quality, and vehicle efficiency. Underinflated tires can generate excess heat and wear, while overinflated tires can contribute to uneven or excessive tread wear.
- Check tire pressure regularly.
- Check tires when they are cold for the most accurate reading.
- Use the recommended cold tire pressure listed on the vehicle's tire information label.
- Do not use the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall as a substitute for the vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure.
- Have unusual pressure loss inspected by a qualified technician.
Key takeaway: Maintaining the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold tire pressure is an important part of tire maintenance.
Why Is Tire Rotation Important?
Regular tire rotation helps promote more even tread wear because the tires on a vehicle can experience different loads and operating conditions. Even wear can help maximize usable tire life and maintain consistent handling.
- Promotes more even tread wear.
- Helps maximize tire life.
- Can help maintain consistent vehicle handling.
- Allows technicians to identify unusual wear patterns earlier.
Tire rotation intervals vary by vehicle and tire configuration. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual for the recommended rotation interval.
Key takeaway: Regular rotation is a simple maintenance step that can help tires wear more evenly and last longer.
How Can Wheel Alignment Problems Affect Your Tires?
Incorrect wheel alignment can cause uneven tire wear, vehicle pulling, steering concerns, and abnormal vibrations. Alignment should be checked when unusual tire wear or handling symptoms appear.
- Uneven or accelerated tread wear
- Vehicle pulling to one side
- Steering that does not feel centered
- Abnormal vibration
- Changes in handling after hitting a significant pothole or road hazard
Correcting an alignment problem can help protect the tires from unnecessary wear and support proper vehicle handling.
Key takeaway: Unusual tire wear or handling behavior can indicate an alignment concern that should be professionally evaluated.

New Tire FAQ: What Drivers in Southern Illinois Should Know
How often should I check my tires?
Check your tires at least monthly and before extended trips. Inspect them when they are cold and look for changes in pressure, tread condition, sidewall damage, or unusual wear.
Can I replace only one tire?
Whether one tire can be replaced depends on tread depth, tire condition, vehicle drivetrain, tire specifications, and manufacturer recommendations. A technician should evaluate the tires as a set before determining the appropriate replacement strategy.
Should all four tires be the same brand?
Matching tires can help provide consistent handling and performance, but the appropriate tire configuration depends on the vehicle and manufacturer requirements. Consult a qualified tire professional before mixing tire types or specifications.
What causes tires to wear unevenly?
Uneven wear can result from incorrect tire pressure, wheel alignment problems, worn suspension components, improper rotation intervals, or other vehicle and tire conditions. A professional inspection can help identify the cause.
Do new tires need to be balanced?
New tires are typically balanced as part of professional tire installation. Proper wheel and tire balance helps reduce vibration and promotes even tire wear.
How long do new tires usually last?
Tire life varies significantly based on tire type, vehicle, driving habits, road conditions, climate, maintenance, alignment, inflation, and storage. There is no single mileage figure that applies to every tire.
Can cold weather affect tire pressure?
Yes. Changes in temperature can affect tire pressure, which is why tire pressure should be checked regularly and maintained at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended cold pressure.
