Automotive Tips from Sterling Tire & Auto: Where Should New Tires Be Placed
September 24, 2015
When Sterling Heights drivers need to replace tires, they need to know how many they should get, and on which axle they should be placed. Replacing a damaged tire may leave you with three others with significant wear, which could affect your traction control, stability control, and anti-lock brake systems.
If you can’t afford to replace all four tires at once, you should at least replace two on the same axle. New tires should always be put on the rear axle for stability in slippery conditions. Your friendly Sterling Tire & Auto tire professional can help you confirm when your worn tires should be replaced, if you can have a damaged tire repaired as well as selecting the right tires for your needs.
