Our tire shaving services are designed to help you achieve optimal tire conditions for a smooth and controlled drive.
Tire shaving, also known as also known as tire truing, is the process of removing a thin layer of rubber from the tread of your tire(s) to match the remaining tread depth of the other tires on the vehicle.
This service is performed to:
Manufactures agree that tire replacement should be done in pairs or matching sets of four. Replacing one tire can cause unbalanced wear and reduce traction. But what happens if only one tire goes flat or is damaged? Tire shaving is a cost-effective solution that lets owners avoid buying tires in pairs or a full set. When only a single tire is needed, tire shaving can be performed to match the remaining three tires' tread depth. Shaving is also performed on racing tires or performance tires that have become worn unevenly or have excessive tread depth.
By shaving the tires, we create a more uniform tread surface, enhancing traction, handling, and overall performance.
Buying four new tires or even two is an expensive option for drivers who only need a single tire to join the other, moderately worn tires.
A tire shaving service is intended to save you money and extend the performance or life of your tires. You can purchase a single new tire from Radial Tire Company in Silver Spring, MD, and have our expert mechanics shave it to the tread depth that matches your other tires.
We offer tires from the tire brands you know and trust, like BFGoodrich, Michelin, Firestone, General, Uniroyal, and more. Use our online tire finder to locate the tires you need.
Tire shaving benefits include:
When all four of your tires have even tread depths, your vehicle will perform better and offer a much smoother and control drive.
Other tire services such as wheel alignment, tire rotation, and tire balancing should be incorporated to keep your tires safe and long-lasting. When all four of your tires don't have even tread depth, this creates a strain on the driveline and suspension components, leading to expensive damage. The cost of tire shaving is also significantly less than replacing two or three good tires.
