Tire Repair: Keep Your Rubber On The Road In Kingston

But with John’s Auto Service by your side, you’ve got nothing to fear. No matter when or where trouble strikes, our tire repair team is just a phone call away.

When To Book Tire Repair: 3 Signs It’s Time For Service
Flat-spotting and sidewall damage is easy to spot, but some warning signs are more subtle.
To increase your odds of early detection, the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada (TRAC) recommends inspecting your tires on a regular basis (at least once per week), and you should book a tire repair service at the first sign of:
- Consistent loss of air pressure. Some pressure loss is normal, but if you’re losing more than 1 PSI per month, or your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light is on, you will need to find and repair the leak before more serious damage is done.
- Low tire tread. Most experts recommend driving with at least 6/32 inches or 4.7mm of tread depth. If your treads are wearing close to the bare minimum, a timely rotation or tire balancing service could help you keep rubber on the road for longer and offset the costs of an early replacement.
- Uneven tread wear. If your treads show excess wear in one area (e.g. center wear, side wear, cupping, or feathering), you may need to schedule a tire rotation or wheel balancing. If your tires are particularly worn, you may need to replace them altogether.
