August 25, 2015

best tire shops in New Orleans

There are so many tire choices in the New Orleans, Chalmette, and Kenner area, selecting the right one can be a bit overwhelming for New Orleans drivers. And even though it’s kind of fun to have new tires on your sedan, they’re a significant investment for most New Orleans folks so you want do it right.

Tip: talk with your friendly Boudreaux's tire professional. He’ll help you sort through the choices.

Here are some of the important issues you’ll talk about: One is size – you know, all those numbers on the side of the tire. The right size is vital. All new vehicles are required to have stability control which, along with other important safety systems, is calibrated to work with specific tire sizes. Your New Orleans tire professional can help stay within auto makers' specifications or program a different tire size into your sedan’s computer.

And you’ll want to discuss how and where you drive in New Orleans to determine the type of tire you need: summer, winter,  all season tires or all-terrain. There are tires for every New Orleans auto owner's needs.

Like we said, tires are a big investment, so you want to get a good value on tires. Now that doesn’t always mean the cheapest tire. A top tier tire from Boudreaux's will last a long time and give New Orleans car owners good performance throughout its life. Tires sold in New Orleans bargain tire shops may not live up to that promise. Again, your friendly Boudreaux's tire professional can give you options that offer the best long-term value within your immediate budget.

Last, with a 2-wheel drive vehicle, it's vital to always replace both tires on an axle. Modern sensors and computer safety systems for sedan brakes, stability and traction control need both tires to have the same amount of wear to work properly. And always put the new tires on the rear so you don’t fishtail in a turn. With all-wheel drive you should replace all four tires at the same time.

Schedule a tire inspection at Boudreaux's to see how much life is left in your sedan tires and seek the help of a professional when choosing new shoes for your vehicle.
