Choosing the Right Tires: Why Your Driving Behavior Matters
By TreadRight Mobile Tire, September 8, 2025
Your tires are the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road — yet many drivers overlook how much their driving habits should influence the type of tires they choose.
At TreadRight Mobile Tire, we don’t just install tires — we help you select the right ones for how, where, and why you drive. Here’s why it matters and how to make a smarter choice.
1. Daily Commuter vs. Weekend Adventurer
1. Daily Commuter vs. Weekend AdventurerIf you mostly drive in the city, commute to work, or pick up kids from school, you’ll benefit from:
- All-season touring tires like the Cooper ProControl Touring
- Designed for comfort, low road noise, fuel efficiency, and reliable traction
But if your weekends mean dirt roads, camping trips, or snowy getaways? You’ll want:
- All-terrain tires like Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail
- Built for off-road capability without sacrificing too much on-road comfort
Example: Leah just outfitted her Chevy Blazer with Wildpeak A/Ts to handle both her weekday drives and weekend mountain runs — one tire, two lifestyles.
2. Seasonal Driving vs. Year-Round Use
2. Seasonal Driving vs. Year-Round UseIf you live in an area with harsh winters (ice, slush, snow), you shouldn’t rely on all-season tires alone. Instead:
- Consider a dedicated set of winter tires, like Michelin X-Ice Snow
- They offer superior grip and braking in cold temperatures
Then swap them out in spring for summer or all-season tires — we can come to you and do the seasonal change at your home or office.
Tip: Use a tire storage rack or ask about mobile storage solutions we recommend.
3. Performance vs. Longevity
3. Performance vs. LongevityAre you a spirited driver? Own a sportier vehicle? You might prefer:
- Performance tires, which offer better handling and responsiveness at higher speeds
- Example: Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 for drivers who crave control in dry and wet conditions
But if you’re focused on value, a high-mileage touring tire with a solid warranty will save you money in the long run.
4. Load and Towing Requirements
4. Load and Towing RequirementsDriving a work truck? Towing a trailer?
You need LT (Light Truck) tires or extra load (XL) rated tires:
- Built with stronger sidewalls
- Help maintain stability under load
Check your vehicle manual or door jamb label for tire specs. Or, text us a pic — we’ll help you decode it.

Rolling Smooth: Essential Tire Facts and Did-You-Knows by TreadRight Mobile Tire
Welcome to the TreadRight Mobile Tire blog! Today, we’re diving into some fascinating tire facts and essential tips to keep you rolling smoothly and safely on the road. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or new to car maintenance, these insights will help you understand the importance of taking good care of your tires.
Tire Facts You Might Not Know
1. Tire Tread Depth Matters More Than You Think
Did you know that your tire’s tread depth is crucial for maintaining proper traction on the road? Treads help channel water away from the tire’s surface, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads. The legal minimum tread depth is 2/32 of an inch, but for optimal safety, it’s recommended to replace your tires when they reach 4/32 of an inch.
2. Proper Inflation Saves You Money
Underinflated tires can reduce your fuel efficiency, costing you more at the pump. In fact, properly inflated tires can improve your gas mileage by up to 3%. Regularly checking your tire pressure not only ensures a smoother ride but also extends the lifespan of your tires.
3. Tires Have a Lifespan
Even if your tires look fine, they have a limited lifespan. Most manufacturers recommend replacing tires every six years, regardless of tread wear. Over time, the rubber compounds degrade, which can lead to reduced performance and safety risks.
4. Rotation Is Key to Even Wear
To get the most out of your tires, it’s essential to rotate them regularly. This helps ensure even wear and extends the overall life of your tires. A good rule of thumb is to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles.

21 inch Tires
TreadRight Mobile Tire™ – Shop tires on our website.
While 21 inch wheels are not the most common tire size on the market there are still a few modern-day vehicles that come equipped with them. Some of which are the Lexus LC 500, Tesla Model S, BMW X5 and X7, Porsche 992, VW Atlas Cross Sport, Audi e-Tron, Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring and Range Rover. These vehicles tend to be more luxurious and in the higher price category.
So what is the benefit of the larger 21 inch wheel?
The biggest advantage is the need for having a lower profile tire allowing the vehicles to perform better on curves. The 21” wheel will also have a tire with a much stiffer sidewall, reducing the flexibility that creates firmer steering.
End of the day, how do you want your ride to look and how do you want your look to ride… TreadRight Mobile Tire can get 21 inch tires for you.

What is causing my tires to get out of balance?
When the weight around the tires and wheels is no longer evenly distributed, tires become unbalanced.
Some possible causes:
- Tire wear over time
- Over- or under-inflated tires
- Abnormal tire wear due to mis-alignment
- Wheel weights have fallen off
- Vehicle sitting in one place too long
- Hitting a pothole or bouncing into a curb
To extend tire life and even out wear, check tire pressure once per week and rotate tire/wheels every 6,000 to 8,000 miles or every 6 months. However, if you notice vibration while driving, you’ll need to have the pros balance the tires.

Red & Yellow dots on my Tires…
Why do my tires have painted dots on them?
The yellow dots identify the lightest point of the tire or where the tire weighs the least. When installing the tire the yellow dot should be lined up next to the valve stem (the wheel’s heaviest point).
The red dots identify where the tire is flattest or the lowest point of the tire. The red dot should be directly across from the highest point of the wheel, which is usually indicated by a colored dot or a notch on the wheel.
If a tire has both a yellow and a red dot, the red dot takes precedence and should be lined up with the valve stem when balancing the tire. See Wheel Balancing for more information.

Road Hazard
What is a Road Hazard Warranty, and do I really need it?
Road hazard warranties vary between companies, specifically, they cover damage to the tire caused through normal driving. (Negligent driving will void any road hazard warranty coverage.) This can include driving over nails, broken glass, or other unexpected debris in the road causing the tire to become unusable.
Interested in seeing what is covered? Continue to our Road Hazard page for more info directly related to the coverage we offer.

Wheel Balancing
Wheel Balancing and Why It Is Necessary
Wheel balancing is important for prolonging the life of your tires and helps to ensure the best performance from your vehicle. Over time the tread on your tires wears down. This causes changes to the distribution of weight around the wheel leading to imbalance. Imbalanced wheels may be felt in unusual shaking or vibration as you drive.

Tire Rotation
How often should your tires be rotated?
We recommend every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, even if they don’t show obvious signs of wear. We can also inspect your tires for any damage and uneven wear, check the pressure and overall tread depth, and remove any stones or debris from between the treads.

Tire Repair
With every revolution, a tire runs the risk of being punctured by a foreign object. It is usually a matter of when you get a flat and not if you will get a flat.
When an object such as a nail breaks through the inner liner of a tire, the most immediate concern is the loss of inflation pressure, but the long-term risk is that the instability around the penetrating object can lead to tread separation.
