Tire Care Tips

At Grooms Motors & Automotive, we're here to help you keep your tires in great shape, serving everyone in Bradenton, FL, Holmes Beach, FL, Long Boat Key, FL, and nearby areas. Good tire maintenance is key to your vehicle’s performance and your safety.

Here’s a simple guide to tire upkeep:

• Regularly check your tire pressure to avoid wear and tear and ensure your car drives smoothly. Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and can help you save on fuel.
• Rotate your tires as mentioned in your car’s manual to help them wear evenly. This can't fix wear from old parts, but it's good for overall tire health.
• Balance your tires if they start to wobble or shake. This is usually done when you first get them and sometimes after.
• Replace tires in groups (four or two at a time) to keep your car stable and driving well. Usually, put new tires on the back.
• Store your tires in a cool, dark place if you’re not using them for a while. Keep them away from oils and direct sunlight to prevent damage.
• Keep an eye on your tires for any signs of damage or unusual wear and always have a spare tire ready for emergencies.
• Spending a few minutes each month to check your tires can save you time and money later, ensuring a smoother drive and better fuel efficiency.

Maintaining your tires not only keeps you safe on the road but also helps the environment by making your tires last longer. Drop by or get in touch with us for any tire services or questions.
