Original equipment tires, those installed on a vehicle at the manufacturing plant, are designed to work in conjunction with a vehicle’s specific engineering. These tires are selected by the manufacturer for optimal performance, safety, and ride quality based on extensive testing and development. A comprehensive maintenance program encompasses a range of services beyond basic tire replacement, including inspections, rotations, balancing, and alignment adjustments to ensure continued vehicle efficiency and longevity.
Using the specified tires helps maintain the vehicle’s intended handling characteristics and safety features. Regular, all-encompassing vehicle maintenance extends the life of the components and improves overall performance, fuel efficiency, and safety. Historically, manufacturers have partnered with tire companies to develop tires that specifically complement their vehicles’ design, leading to enhanced performance and reliability.
