Flat Tire Repair in Vancouver
Most of us drive a car every day for our daily chores but frequently fail to check our tires. Flat tire repair in Vancouver is quite common, but knowing when to change it beforehand will help some unnerving moments. Consider, for instance, going for a trip to Osoyoos during the summer, the entire trip is ruined if something goes wrong with the tires. Although we would be pleased to repair your flat tires, you do not want that moment to happen, do you?
How to Measure Tread Depth Without Being a Mechanic
The best way to measure your tread depth is to stick the probe into the shallowest groove on the tire, press the shoulders of the probe flat against the tread and then read the result.
If your gauge measurement reads:
6/32″ or higher: The tread depth on your tire is adequate.
Even if you don’t have a gauge at the moment, do you have any alternatives?
The Quarter Tire Test
Make sure Queen Elizabeth’s crown is facing down when you insert the coin. You need to replace your tire if you can see the top of the Queen’s crown.
Toonie check
Take your toonie and check every single tire by placing the coin in a tread.
If the tread is covering half of the letters, it’s time to start shopping.
