TIRES/WHEELS

For more information please review our article “When Do you need to replace tires” at 1010TIRES.COM

If you are unsure about your remaining tread depth, please let us know and our technician can check the tread depth for you.

It is always recommended to change tires in full sets of four. If you change less than four, the new tires will be providing different traction levels compared to the used tires that are staying on the vehicle. In some situations this can cause a loss of vehicle control. Also, on some vehicles equipped with an “All Wheel Drive” system, changing less than four tires can actually damage the drive line, which will be much more expensive to repair than buying four tires.

If you are not sure what tire size is installed on your vehicle, please check your size, and look for the following:

 

 

The manufacturer's size recommendation is found on the placard in the driver side doorjamb. The placard will look similar to the one here.

If you are replacing less than 4 tires, and your existing tires require rotation please let our customer service team know by providing a note on our online scheduler, or please give us a call at 1-877-877-1010 opt 4, and listen to the menu for options.

Installation typically takes 1 to 2 hours per vehicle.

Many vehicles come from the factory with steel lug nuts covered in a decorative chrome layer which can become damaged if impact tools are used on them, or even just over time due to temperature changes and moisture. If this has happened, the nuts will be extremely difficult to remove and the nut may actually get stuck into the socket being used to remove it. We recommend checking your lug nuts by placing your vehicle’s original lug wrench over each wheel nut. If it fits without having to use force, then your lug nuts should be fine. If you have to use force to gut the lug wrench over the nuts, then you would have to take the vehicle to a shop to have the wheel nuts removed and replaced before we can perform a mobile service.

1010TIRES Mobile uses the R.I.S.T method as documented by the Tire Industry Association (TIA).

R = Remove debris from mating surfaces.

I = Inspect components for damage or excessive wear.

S = Snug the fasteners in a star pattern.

T = Torque to specification.

Remove debris from mating surfaces. Inspect components  (lugs, studs, bolts, hub centric rings). Snug lug in a star pattern. Torque to spec. Once lugs are tightened by hand, a compact electric impact gun snugs the lugs in a star pattern to about 40-50 ft-lbs. With the vehicle partially supported, the lugs are torqued by hand using a torque wrench to prevent joint settling. Finally, with the vehicle on the ground, another torque check is performed with the torque wrench.

Does your vehicle have Run Flat tires? If so, these tires are typically not repairable, but drivable up to 60-80KM. Please proceed to one of our retail locations where our technicians can further diagnose and offer replacement options as required.

If you have conventional tires, do you have a spare tire? We are happy to perform a service call consisting of a mobile technician coming to you, inspecting the flat and either performing a repair or installing your spare so you can regain mobility. Ask for details on this services cost.

In the event the flat is unrepairable, we can locate a suitable replacement and prepare it to be installed at one of our retail locations (https://www.1010tires.com/About/Stores/BC).
