S&S Tire: Tire Replacement

JAMES O’D.: HI, I’M JAMES WITH S&S TIRE IN BRANNON CROSSING. TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT, DO YOU REALLY NEED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES? YES, I WORK AT A TIRE STORE, BUT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT NEED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. AND IF YOU DO, YOU MAY NOT THINK YOU NEED TO. THERE ARE ACTUALLY REASONS THAT YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO A FULL SET OF TIRES.
ONE: IF YOU HAVEN’T PROPERLY ROTATED YOUR TIRES ENOUGH, YOU CAN GET UNEVEN WEAR BETWEEN THE FRONT TIRES FROM THE REAR TIRES, OR VICE VERSA.
TWO: IF YOU’RE NOT KEEPING YOUR CAR IN PROPER ALIGNMENT, THEY MAY BE WEARING ON ONE SIDE, COMPARED TO THE OTHER. AND THAT WOULD INDICATE A NEW SET OF TIRES.
THREE: THE AGE OF YOUR TIRES. YES, YOUR TIRES MAY HAVE A LOT OF TREAD. BUT THEY MAY BE OLD, AND LIKE ALL RUBBER PRODUCTS, THEY DO GET HARD AND BRITTLE. AND IN THAT CASE, YOU’LL LOSE TRACTION. ESPECIALLY WITH THE INCLEMENT WEATHER COMING UP TO THIS WINTER INTO FALL WITH THE RAINS, YOU WILL START TO SEE A DIFFERENCE IN TRACTION. NOT ONLY IN TAKEOFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, BUT ALSO WHEN BRAKING. TIRES ARE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE WHEN YOU’RE BRAKING. THEY ACTUALLY HELP YOU TO STOP, BECAUSE THE RUBBER ACTUALLY IS GRABBING THE ROAD ENOUGH TO SLOW YOU DOWN.
NOW: DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO REPLACE FOUR? NOT NECESSARILY. YOU MAY HAVE THREE REALLY GOOD TIRES, AND YOU JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ONE. MAYBE YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH ONE, OR MAYBE JUST A PAIR. BUT IF YOU DO DECIDE TO GO FOUR, S&S TIRES, THE FOUR 4 FOUR, WHERE YOU GET FOUR FREE OIL CHANGES WITH A FOUR-TIRE PURCHASE. AND ALWAYS, YOU GET A FREE ALIGNMENT.
I’M JAMES, WITH S&S TIRE. AND THAT’S YOUR TIP OF THE DAY FROM UNDER THE HOOD.
SPEAKER 2: NOW AT S&S TIRE, BUY FOUR CONTINENTAL OR GENERAL TIRES, AND GET FOUR FREE OIL CHANGES.
