It is better to go to a 4S shop. The quality of tires at outside auto repair shops varies greatly. If you want to replace them outside, you must go to a professional tire brand store. However, these concerns are generally unnecessary when changing tires at a 4S shop, as they provide warranties for the replaced parts. 4S shops usually offer one-stop services, and the service level for tire replacement is generally higher than outside shops. Below is some relevant information about tire replacement: 1. After tire disassembly and installation, a balancing machine must be used to test the balance of the tire and wheel hub during movement to ensure smooth driving. 2. When replacing tires, the valve stem should also be replaced. The valve stem is a rubber component that gradually deteriorates over time and under environmental influences, posing potential safety hazards. 3. Regularly check tire pressure, as both underinflation and overinflation can lead to the risk of tire blowouts. 4. After tire replacement, a four-wheel alignment should be performed to ensure the car maintains stable straight-line driving and easy steering while minimizing tire wear.

How to Determine if a Car Tire is Flat?

Visual inspection: Normally, the contact area between the tire and the ground is about 10CM. If it exceeds 10CM, the tire pressure is low and needs to be inflated. You can also press the tire directly. If it feels slightly soft, the tire pressure is too low and requires inflation. Alternatively, you can purchase a tire pressure gauge to regularly check the tire pressure, which will directly indicate whether the pressure is too low and if inflation is needed.
