Best Tires, Tire Repair and Maintenance in Kawartha Lakes, ON

Bridgestone follows the recommendations of the industry associations regarding tire life and inspection guidelines. We recommend that, in addition to regular tire inspections, customers have their tires inspected by a qualified tire service person after five (5) years of use to determine if the tires can continue in service. It is recommended that spare tires be inspected at the same time. Further, even when tires appear to be usable from their external appearance or the tread depth may have not reached the minimum wear out depth, it is recommended that all tires (including spare tires) that were manufactured more than ten (10) years previous be replaced with new tires.

Original Equipment tires are engineered to meet specific requirements set by the car maker. Replacement tires are designed to provide the performance and treadwear most drivers expect for a particular type of tire.

Check with the tire seller to see if they have a list of approved installers in your area. You may also contact your local Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus, Wheel Works or Hibdon location. They mount and balance most passenger and light truck tires for a small fee.

This will vary depending on your location. Usually, you can make the switch when temperatures are no longer likely to dip below freezing and snow is no longer in the forecast.

If your tires are already filled with nitrogen and their pressure is low, topping them off with air is acceptable. After all, air is 78% nitrogen, so using compressed air in tires that have previously been filled with nitrogen will not harm them.
