Schedule Service Online Call Service: (909) 729-4126Most tire problems do not start with a blowout. They start with a vibration, a pressure light or wear on one edge that nobody looked at. Here is how to read what your tires are telling you.
Legal to 2/32", but wet-road grip drops well before that. Put a quarter in the groove upside down. If you see the top of Washington's head, start shopping.
A slow leak, a nail, or a big temperature swing. Check pressures cold and have a leak found before it becomes a flat on the freeway.
Usually a wheel out of balance or a tire that has lost its shape. It shows up between 55 and 70 mph and gets worse with speed.
Fronts and rears wear differently. Regular rotation evens it out and gets you the full life of the set.
Sidewall damage from a curb or a trail rock cannot be repaired. A bulge means the internal structure has failed. Replace it.
Rubber ages in the sun even with tread left. The build date is the four-digit code on the sidewall: week, then year.
The Mopar maintenance schedule pairs tire rotation with routine service on most models. Moving the tires around evens out the wear between the steering axle and the drive axle, which is how a set reaches its rated life.
Every tire and wheel has a slightly heavy spot. Balancing corrects it with weights, so the assembly spins true at speed. Large all-terrain and mud-terrain tires need it more, not less.
Pressures are set to the door-jamb placard, not the maximum on the sidewall, and the tire pressure monitoring sensors are checked so the warning light means something.
A nail in the center of the tread can usually be repaired properly from the inside. Damage near the shoulder or in the sidewall cannot. When a tire does need replacing, we help you match it to how you actually drive, and Goodyear tires are available here.
A Wrangler or Gladiator with a full-size matching spare can rotate all five tires, so the spare wears with the others and is ready when you need it. That keeps all four drive tires matched, which matters on a 4x4.
A Ram 2500 or 3500 runs load-range tires rated for the truck's weight and payload, often at higher pressures than a half-ton. Putting a lighter tire on an HD truck, or running it underinflated with a trailer, is how tires overheat and fail.
Larger all-terrain and mud-terrain tires are heavier, harder to balance and more sensitive to pressure. They also change speedometer accuracy and put more load on steering and brakes.
Challenger, Charger and Durango SRT models run wide, soft performance tires that wear faster and are often staggered front to rear, which limits rotation. Tread depth deserves a closer eye.
Summer pavement in the Inland Empire gets far hotter than the air, and tire pressure climbs with it. Then the first cool morning of fall drops pressures enough to trigger the warning light. Checking pressures cold, a few times a season, prevents most of the tire problems we see.
The 10, the 15 and the 60 carry heavy truck traffic, and the debris that comes with it finds tires every day. Construction zones leave screws and nails. And if you take the Jeep to the trails around Big Bear or out to Johnson Valley, sharp rock and aired-down sidewalls are exactly how tires get cut. Look them over before the drive home.
We do not list tire prices here, because they depend on the size, the load rating and the tire you choose. Current Mopar tire and rotation offers are on the Mopar service coupons page. Select Tires at the top of the page to see them, then show the coupon at the service desk.
Tires are the rubber. Alignment is the geometry that decides how that rubber meets the road. If one edge of a tire is wearing faster than the other, or the vehicle pulls to one side, rotating and balancing will not fix it. That is an alignment problem, and our wheel alignment service is the next step.
Load-range HD tires, 35-inch all-terrains and staggered SRT setups are routine work here.
Replacement tires matched to your vehicle's size and load rating, and to how you drive it.
We measure tread depth and tell you how much life is left, rather than selling a set you do not need yet.
Current Mopar tire and rotation coupons are on our site. Bring the coupon and it comes off the bill.
Service opens early on weekdays and runs Saturdays. Wait in the renovated lounge on free Wi-Fi.
620 Auto Center Drive in Claremont, just off the 10, close for Pomona, La Verne, San Dimas, Upland and Chino.
Follow the Mopar maintenance schedule for your vehicle, which pairs tire rotation with routine service on most models. If you tow, run large off-road tires or see uneven wear, rotate more often.
Current Mopar tire and rotation offers are published on our coupons page at claremontcdjr.com/coupons. Select Tires at the top of the page, then show the coupon at the service desk. Offers change through the year and carry expiration dates.
Goodyear tires are available through our service department. Call the service department at (909) 729-4126 to check sizes for your vehicle.
Yes, if it is a full-size spare on a matching wheel. A five-tire rotation keeps all five tires worn evenly, so the spare matches the others when you need it.
Usually, if the puncture is in the center of the tread and not too large. Punctures near the shoulder or in the sidewall cannot be safely repaired, and the tire has to be replaced.
Tires lose pressure slowly and can be several pounds low before they look it. A drop in temperature also lowers pressure, which is why the light often appears on the first cool morning. Check them cold, and have a slow leak found.
A vibration that builds between 55 and 70 mph usually means a wheel is out of balance or a tire has lost its shape. A shake only while braking points to the brakes instead.
Larger all-terrain and mud-terrain tires are heavier and harder to balance, and they need correct pressures for their size and load. They also affect speedometer accuracy, steering and braking, so they deserve more frequent checks.
Check the current Mopar tire offers, then pick a time that works. We service Ram, Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler at 620 Auto Center Drive.
