How to Find the Right Truck Service for Your Tires

If you are looking for a durable, reliable, and powerful vehicle, you have probably thought about purchasing a pickup truck. While a pickup truck is a versatile vehicle that can accomplish a lot of tasks, you need to take care of it if you want it to fulfill your needs. We are Gerry Lane Buick GMC, and we would be happy to help you take care of your truck. You need to find the right tires for your truck, but what are some of the most important factors you should keep in mind? Learn more below, and make sure you select the right tires for your truck.

What Is the Size of Your Wheels?
First, you need to think about how big your wheels are. Wheels come in different sizes, so tires come in different sizes as well. Typically, the size of your wheels is measured in inches, so make sure the tires you purchase will actually fit on the wheels of your truck. Keep in mind that even if the tires will fit one specific model, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will fit yours. For example, even different trim levels in the same make and model can have different size wheels. Some people even decide to customize their trucks with specific wheels. Therefore, make sure the tires you purchase will fit on the wheels of your truck.

Where Do You Do Most of Your Driving?

Next, think carefully about where you do most of your driving. For example, do you do most of your driving in the city? Or, do you do most of your driving on the highway? There might even be a chance that you do most of your driving off-road somewhere. Some tires are better for some driving styles than others, so make sure you take a look at the description of the tires to see where they have been designed to perform their best. If you are unsure of whether the tires you are looking at are right for your driving style, our experts would be happy to help you.

What Is the Weather Like Outside?

Tires have also been designed to perform well under specific weather conditions. For example, if you spend a lot of your time driving in the Northeast, then you may want to purchase some snow tires. There are some people who believe that as long as they purchase all-season or all-weather tires, they are going to be all right. You should think of all-season tires as tires that are a jack of all trades. Even though they might perform OK in the winter, they are never going to perform as well as winter tires. Make sure you purchase tires that are right for the climate in your area.

How Long Do the Tires Last?

Finally, even though you are probably going to be focused on how much the tires cost, you also need to think about how long the tires will last. On average, you should expect to get 30,000 miles out of your tires as long as you take care of them. On the other hand, some tires have been designed to last longer, and other tires will not last as long. Tires are a significant investment, so you need to make sure you get as many miles out of them as possible. Our service center would be happy to help you take care of your tires, so give us a call to schedule an appointment.

In addition to tire care, don't forget about other essential maintenance tasks. Take advantage of available brake pad rebates and brake rotor rebates at participating GM dealers. Eligible brake rotor brands include GM Genuine Parts, ACDelco Gold, and ACDelco Silver. These rebates can help you save on high-quality brake parts, ensuring your truck remains safe and reliable. Be sure to check the specific conditions and deadlines for purchasing and submitting rebate requests.
