Tire Wear

Tire Wear

In the automotive industry, we get asked all the time "why are my tires wearing uneven"? There are several factors that can cause a tire to wear unevenly, or wear worse on the inside or outside than in the middle. The number one factor is the vehicle being out of alignment. Having you alignment checked a couple times a year can be crucial to keeping your tires wearing properly. Another factor can be lack of having your tires rotated regularly. We recommend tire rotations at least every other oil change. The engine of a vehicle has a lot more weight than the rear of the vehicle and therefore will cause the front tires to wear more if not rotated regularly. You could also have loose steering parts or worn out suspension parts. If you have loose tie rod ends, this can be a safety concern but also throw your vehicle way out of alignment and cause the tires to wear prematurely. Worn shocks or struts can also make a vehicle sit slightly lower which also affects the camber part of y ... read more

My favorite phrase is “Think Outside the Box” because good things seem to happen when this is done. Two things happened in the past few weeks that got my wheels turning by thinking outside the box. First, one of our valued customers, Stanley Steemer, decided to retire three of their oldest vans. Normally, the vans are crushed for insurance liability reasons, which shocked me because of how well Stanley Steemer maintains its vehicles. Next, I was invited three weeks ago to tour God's Pantry and see all the lives they touch on a daily basis. During the tour, all I could think about was how cool it would be if the retired vans could be transformed into useful vans for God's Pantry or other organizations in desperate need of transportation. I called Stanley Steemer with a plan to convert these vans for organizations that can't afford them. Stanley Steemer liked the plan and released these three vans into Fleet Doc's possession. Two vans are going to God's Pantr ... read more
