Additionally, all Volvo drivers can receive a tire inspection that checks on treads, inflation, and wheel alignment.

Why Conduct a Routine Tire Swap?

The routine swap of your Volvo tires is often dependent on the seasonal driving conditions or tire wear and age. All tires are susceptible to wear and tear, regardless of your driving experience. Ensure that your tires are evenly wearing across the whole tire. Poor tire maintenance accelerates tire swap frequency. Tire age occurs when parts begin to change appearance due to storage and environmental conditions. If you are wondering how to tell if your tire needs swapped, our technicians will explain how the process works. Routine tire swaps give you the following advantages for your Rumson travels:

• Better performance with seasonally appropriate tires
• Better handling and responsiveness
• Improved safety on the Eatontown roads
• Better traction in different weather events
• Enhanced fuel economy
• Even wear that leads to extended tire life

What Causes Damage to Tires?

Long Branch drivers face different problems and care for their vehicles differently. Awareness of your driving habits and the environment minimizes tire damage. The factors that cause tire damage include poor tire maintenance. If you're not checking air pressure, conducting routine tire rotations and alignment, or ignoring visible tears, you might need a tire replacement instead of a seasonal tire swap. Some drivers do not use the right tires for different road terrain and seasons, which can also contribute to tire damage.

Road embankments can also impact your tires. Speed bumps, potholes, curbs, obstacles, and sharp objects can make a tire replacement necessary. Varying climatic conditions, including extreme heat and cold temperatures, can accelerate wear and tear. This scenario is one big reason why our Volvo service team recommends that you consider swapping your tires with each major seasonal shift.

Please keep in mind that all tires come with a recommended lifespan, and your driving habits can also influence how often you should swap, replace, or rotate your tires. Excessive braking or accelerating, driving at high speeds for long periods, and more can facilitate the need for a total replacement.

Signs That Your Tires Need a Swap

Professional help is necessary before conducting a tire swap. You need to carefully monitor your vehicle tires for the following signs, which are indicators that you may need to undertake a tire swap service.

Treadwear: We measure tire tread depth in 32nds of an inch. New tire depth should fall somewhere between 9/32" to 11/32''. Any tire with a tread depth down to 2/32 is unsafe. West Long Branch drivers can measure tread depth using a tread depth gauge or the penny test method.

Vibration: A vibration on the steering as you drive could come as the result of unevenly worn-out tires. Poor tire alignment also causes vibration, and that's why professional service is critical.

Bubbles and bulges: A bulge is indicative of the tire internal frame malfunction. You'll need to replace the tire immediately, even if you are not ready to swap your tires for a new season.

Cracks and cuts on sides: Age often leads to cracking on the side of a tire. Cuts most often result from environmental conditions, such as sunlight and road surfactants.

Embedded nails or stones: Small objects are a cause of tire blowout that can be dangerous.

Damaged valve cap: A loose cap leaks air and allows other debris to get into the tire. This scenario can lead to damage.

We advise you to schedule your tire swap service early in advance. You can opt for a full or partial swap according to your budget and performance preferences.
