Types of Tire Damage
Here are the 5 most common types of tire damage we see in our shop regularly:
- Punctures: small holes caused by sharp objects like nails, glass or screws.
- Cuts: these are deeper slashes in the tire's sidewall or tread, often caused by contact with sharp edges or debris.
- Bulges: these usually result from impact with a pothole or curb, which can weaken your tire's structure.
- Tread separation: the tread and the tire's body become detached, often due to excessive wear.
- Uneven wear: This is a gradual wearing down of the tire's tread in an uneven pattern, typically caused by improper alignment, suspension issues, or under-inflation.

Signs You Need Tire Repair or Replacement
There are several things you can look out for to know when it’s time to have your tires repaired or replaced. Some obvious signs are cuts, bulges, or punctures as noted above. If you notice that you have to regularly fill your tires with air, this indicates a slow leak that also necessitates repair. Also, if your tires are older than six years, they may require replacement simply because of their age, despite their appearance. Excessive shaking and loss of traction are also common indications that your tires should be evaluated by a professional. If you need a professional opinion, contact Ralph's Auto Repair today and we can assess your tires and provide you with a comprehensive plan for repairing your tires or replacing them.

Tire Maintenance Tips
Regular tire maintenance is critical in extending their lifespan. You should inspect your tires regularly for any visible signs of damage. It’s also important to pay attention to your tire pressure by using a reliable pressure gauge and adjusting the pressure as necessary. Neglecting proper tire pressure can lead to uneven wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and decreased tire lifespan. Additionally, avoid overloading your vehicle as this can put excessive strain on the tires, causing premature wear and potential damage.
