Services for New Tires in Springfield, MO

Tires Handled by the Top Technicians

Tires are the connection between your vehicle and the surface of the road. Tires are a critical part of your vehicle's suspension system and are responsible for transmitting the forces of driving, steering, and braking to the surface of the road. Although tires are easily maintained, they are often overlooked.



The air inside your tires and the design of the tire can influence vehicle performance, tire tread life, and ride comfort. Tire maintenance is vital for getting the most out of your tires by maximizing mileage and tread wear. Our staff at Joe's Tire Shop, Inc will help you understand the basics of tire care and maintenance, like when you should seek tire rotation, balance, and alignment.

Our staff will also help you understand tire sidewall markings, teach you the best time to purchase new tires in Springfield, MO, and show you how to choose the right set of tires for your vehicle. Call or visit us today for tire services and any other service inquiries.

Benefits of Our Tire Services

Premature tire wear is caused by poor tire inflation levels and improper tire rotation. Whereas correctly inflated tires tend to have durable sidewalls, underinflated tires often have flexible sidewalls that result in quicker sidewall wear.



Overinflated tires are also undesirable and will result in excessive center tread wear. Wheel balancing has the potential to relieve some symptoms of improper tire wear, like excessive lean. However, improper tire wear may also be the cause of alignment issues. During any tire repair service, our staff will be able to determine whether a tire balancing or rotation service can solve your current set of issues.

Because tire inflation is so important, our staff will make sure to follow the inflation standards recommended by the manufacturer during a new tire installation. Overall, proper tire inflation can lead to reduced tread movement, increased water dissipation, reduced rolling resistance, proper traction, and adequate load carrying capabilities. Our tire service work promotes better fuel economy and longer tread life. Here is a list of our services for your new tires in Springfield, MO.

Computerized Wheel Balancing

Approx. Time: 15 Minutes

Professionals use computerized wheel balancers to pinpoint weight differentiation within a tire and wheel assembly. Computerized wheel balancers are highly accurate machines that identify the weight distribution problem areas within an assembly. Ideally, a tire and its wheel should complement one another, with both maintaining an equal amount of weight throughout the assembly.

In a perfect assembly, air will be even throughout the tire, and the wheel will be perfectly round in shape. However, tires and wheels are nearly never perfect. In fact, some tire manufacturers mark the lightest part of a tire so that drivers can easily match it to the heaviest part of the wheel.

Both time and normal tire and wheel usage will also gradually add imbalance to a tire and wheel assembly’s weight distribution. The smallest difference in weight within an assembly can cause a great amount of damage and annoyance. A computerized wheel balancing service will return the balance of your car or truck’s wheels to factory specifications.

Let Us Handle Your Computerized Wheel Balancing

Tire and wheel assemblies are prone to various weight discrepancies that can cause a multitude of problems for motorists. If you experience vibrations in your vehicle, hear squeals from your tires, or feel your vehicle pulling in one direction, then one or more of your tires or wheels may be in need of rebalancing.

Fortunately, our staff is here to help with all your balancing needs. During this process, our experts will mount your wheel on the computerized wheel balancing machine and spin it. Acting upon the information we receive from our computerized wheel balancing equipment, our service staff will apply additional weight to the indicated areas in order to alleviate vibrations and help the assembly roll more smoothly.

With your tires and wheels properly balanced, you can enjoy an overall smoother ride, greater control, and longer-lasting tires.

Basics Behind Tire Purchase and Tire Installation

Approx. Time: 60 Minutes

When tires are completely worn or unable to meet a driver's needs, the tire purchasing and installation process usually follows. The specific reasons why a motorist might want to purchase new tires when the current set of tires isn't worn will vary.



A vehicle towing heavy weight will need tires with a high load rating. If a vehicle is driven in an area with heavy rain, the driver might prefer to purchase new tires that offer a better traction rating. During our tire purchase and installation service, our service staff will conduct a thorough investigation of your driving needs to help guarantee the best possible set of tires for your car or truck.

Once a driver buys the new tires in Springfield, MO, they will need to be correctly installed on the vehicle. Contact us today to learn more about our tire offerings.

Comprehensive Tire Repair

Approx. Time: 15 Minutes

There are many hazards that can make tires less effective and more of a danger to drivers and passengers. It is not uncommon to find a sharp stone or nail on a busy highway. It is also important to note that the longer a driver uses a flat tire, the more unlikely that a tire repair service can be performed.

This is because riding on a flat tire for too long can cause irrevocable damage to the tire. As the tire deflates, the wheel will come into closer contact with the ground, potentially damaging the rim. It is important to understand that tire repair is time-sensitive. The sooner you are able to bring a lightly to moderately damaged tire in for repair, the more likely it is that the tire can be saved.

Comprehensive Tire Repair

The methods used by our service staff to repair a tire comply with the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA). The RMA states that a flat tire can be repaired if the puncture is ¼ inch or smaller and if the puncture is located on the tread of a tire. They recommend that the tire repair procedure involve a plug and a patch on the lining of the tire.

A plug and a patch can add thousands of miles more to a damaged tire. For a punctured tire, our staff will patch, plug, or seal the damaged area. If your tire is losing air due to valve stem damage or if the tire is not securely attached to the wheel’s rim, our tire repair service staff will be able to help.

Ultimately, repairing your tire helps to keep you safe on the road and can save you money in the long run.

Prompt Tire Rotation Services

Approx. Time: 15 Minutes

Our tire rotation service involves changing the position of a vehicle's tires in order to reduce massive tread differentiation between them. Tires tend to exhibit differing amounts of tread wear because each tire does not deal with exactly the same types or amounts of stress as its companions.



Motorists rotate their tires because this is an effective way to deal with uneven tread wear. By alternating tires according to tire rotation patterns, drivers can help distribute tread wear more evenly and reduce uneven tread wear. Depending upon the type of vehicle a motorist drives and the type of tires on the vehicle, the tire rotation pattern may vary.

Rotation experts may exchange the front tires with one another, switch the rear tires with one another, or swap the front and rear tires. If the vehicle has a full-size matching spare tire, it may also be included in the rotation cycle.

Have Our Professionals Rotate Your Tires

You should rotate your tires to prevent uneven tread wear. Uneven tread commonly occurs because most vehicles do not distribute weight evenly between the front and rear tires. In general, front tires tend to deteriorate more quickly than rear tires due to their location and the weight of a vehicle’s engine.



By rotating your tires, you'll distribute the wear more evenly, and you won't need to replace your tires as frequently. Beyond the benefit of extended tread life, routine and professional tire rotation services can also improve your gas mileage. This is because well-maintained tires reduce rolling resistance, which affects your vehicle’s performance and gas mileage.

Our tire rotation service can help prevent massive tread differentiation between tires, encourage better vehicular performance, and save you money by contributing to better gas mileage. If you have questions about how often you should rotate your tires or any other services we offer for new tires in Springfield, MO, simply ask a member of our service staff.
