Inspections and Pressure Checks Claymont DE

Our technicians perform a visual check of all four tires and the spare for any signs of damage or aging. We measure the tread depth in multiple spots to check for uneven wear that might suggest an alignment issue. We also use a professional gauge to set your tire pressure to the exact manufacturer specifications for your vehicle.

You should have your tire pressure checked at least once a month and before any long road trips. Temperature changes in Delaware can cause your pressure to drop significantly overnight, which impacts your safety and gas mileage. Regular checks at our Claymont shop ensure your tires stay at the correct levels regardless of the season or weather.

You should look for deep cracks in the sidewall, bulges or bubbles, and tread that is worn down to the wear bars. If you see any metal wires or fabric showing through the rubber, the tire is extremely dangerous and must be replaced immediately. Our experienced team in Claymont can perform a quick safety check to give you an honest answer.

Yes, under-inflated tires create more rolling resistance, which forces your engine to work harder and burn more fuel. Keeping your tires at the right pressure can improve your gas mileage by up to three percent. By visiting Mighty Tire Company for a precision pressure check, you save money at the pump and prevent your tires from wearing out too fast.

We include a full check of your spare tire during every professional inspection at our Philadelphia Pike location. A spare tire is useless if it is flat when you actually need it. We check the air pressure and the age of the rubber to ensure it is ready for an emergency, giving you total peace of mind while traveling.
