Which tires are right for me? OK Tire in Cranbrook has the answer

If you ask the experts at OK Tire & Auto Service in Cranbrook, they can tell you all about the best tires to suit your specific needs, but this is a general outline:

• All-weather tires Crafted with a unique rubber compound designed to maintain flexibility in temperatures both above and below 7°C, these tires offer Canadian drivers a convenient solution to avoid the inconvenience of seasonal tire changes and storage.

• All-season tires Designed to navigate through the diverse seasons of Canada, excluding winter, these tires are optimized for both dry and wet road conditions. They offer a comfortable driving experience, enhanced fuel efficiency, and excellent tread longevity in temperatures surpassing 7°C.

• Winter tires Created with specialized rubber compounds engineered to deliver superior traction, these tires stand out as the optimal selection for challenging winter roads. However, as temperatures climb beyond 7°C, it's advisable to transition from winter tires to prevent premature tread wear on warmer road surfaces. Notably, the presence of the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol signifies that the tire has undergone rigorous snow testing, meeting the necessary performance standards to attain a severe snow service rating.

• Performance tires Frequently employed on sports cars, performance tires feature shorter and lower profile sidewalls that contribute to amplified cornering capabilities. Additionally, drivers can anticipate improved steering response, superior handling, and enhanced traction and grip across various dry and wet road conditions when utilizing these tires.

• Run-flat tires Designed to take a puncture and keep you moving, Run-Flats will allow you to safely drive right to the OK Tire shop in Cranbrook where their team of tire specialists will be waiting to help.

Tire rotation and why it’s important—OK Tire & Auto Service in Cranbrook has the answers

OK Tire & Auto Service in Cranbrook are specialists when it comes to anything tire-related and that includes tire rotation. So what exactly is tire rotation and why is it an important part of your routine upkeep?

Tire rotation means periodically changing the position of each of the tires on your vehicle. Ideally, it should be done every 8,000 kilometres or so. It’s important for several reasons:

• Your tire tread is maximized by spreading wear evenly across all four tires. For example, in a front-wheel drive vehicle the front tires will wear more quickly as they get more friction and torque from braking, accelerating and turning.

• Maintaining even tread keeps the tread depth on all four tires uniform, which can help your vehicle with handling and traction.

• Evenly worn tires reduce the strain on the drivetrain of your vehicle and minimize wear on expensive vehicle components.

How can I tell if I need new tires?

It’s a fact of owning a vehicle—eventually your tires will need to be replaced. Here are four signs that it’s time to book an appointment:

1. Tread depth. The tread depth of your tires should never be below 1.6 mm. Check the depth regularly with a tread depth gauge.

2. Cracks in the sidewall. Cuts, grooves or hairline cracks indicate weakness in the rubber and could cause a tire blowout.

3. Bulges and blisters. If you spot a bulge in your tire, it’s definitely time to get new ones. Bulges indicate weak spots in the tire, potentially causing a sudden tire blowout on the road.

4. Excessive vibration. There’s always a certain amount of vibration with tires, but it shouldn’t be excessive. If issues like misaligned or unbalanced tires have been ruled out, the problem may be an internal issue with the tire itself. Get this checked out by a professional.
