PureContact with EcoPlus Technology (Grand Touring All-Season)

One of the best tire's to come along in recent history in Carolina Tire's opinion is by Continental tire, headquartered just minutes from us in Fort Mill, SC. Please welcome in the PureContact with EcoPlus. 

The PureContact with EcoPlus Technology is Continental's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of luxury performance sedans, sporty coupes and crossover vehicles. PureContact tires are designed to balance long wear, a comfortable ride and low rolling resistance with wet grip and all-season traction, even in light snow.

Featuring a silica-enhanced, all-season tread compound, the PureContact with EcoPlus Technology incorporates Continental's Tg-F Polymers and +Silane additives to improve treadwear, fuel efficiency and traction on slippery roads. The compound is molded into a computer-optimized asymmetric tread design that reduces pattern noise while chamfered tread block edges enhance dry-road handling. Independent tread blocks are siped to provide additional biting edges while Continental’s Traction Grooves (vertical ridges in the circumferential grooves) promote three-dimensional snow-to-snow traction.

PureContact with EcoPlus Technology’s tread pattern features Tuned Performance Indicators — visible letters molded into the outboard shoulder to alert drivers of the tire's potential performance in various weather conditions. A visible "DWS" indicates the tire has sufficient tread depth for dry conditions, as well as wet roads and light snow. After the "S" has worn away, the remaining "DW" indicates the tire only has sufficient tread depth for dry and most wet road conditions. And after the "W" and "S" have both worn away, the remaining "D" indicates the tire has appropriate tread depth for dry conditions only.

The tire's internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wound jointless polyamide to blend high-speed durability with ride uniformity. Continental's ComfortRide Technology includes a cushioning layer of rubber to absorb vibrations caused by road surface irregularities. PureContact tires also feature weight-optimized construction to reduce weight and rolling resistance.

These tires are available for purchase and for a limited time qualify for an instant $75.00 dollar rebate. ONLY at Carolina Tire & Auto:

Buying Tires Online has Become Too Expensive

Remember when buying tires in "the old days of the internet", (2 years ago) was always a good deal? Go to sites like Tire Rack and more times than not, they were less money than your local Charlotte tire dealer. Then sprang up copy cat sites like Tire Buyer, Discount Tire Direct and Tire Monkey. All boasting "free delivery" to your local tire installer.

Tire buyers in Charlotte already know that Carolina Tire is the only place to buy tires. No one has and no one can compete on prices of tires and we're going to prove it to you right now by doing a real world comparison of tire prices at popular online tire sites on very popular sizes and brands like Continental and Michelin brand tires.

We're going to compare the P205/55R16 Continental DWS tires from Tire Rack, Tire Monkey, Tire Buyer and Discount Tire online. All tires were shown delivered to Charlotte zip code 28277.

Tire Rack = $116.67 delivered
Tire Monkey = $135.00 delivered
Tire Buyer = $115.19 delivered
Discount Tire = $119.00 delivered

Carolina Tire $115.00 per tire


Now let's try the Michelin LTX M/S2 in the 265/70R17 tire size.


Tire Rack = $267.55 delivered
Tire Monkey = $258.00 delivered
Tire Buyer = $229.56 delivered
Discount Tire = $242.00 delivered

Carolina Tire $228.00 per tire


We could go on and on with examples. These are the exact same tires that you would get from any of these distributors as you would get from Carolina Tire. The fact is as we stated as the headline for this blog post, buying tires online has become too expensive. Buying tires has gone back and in favor to the local tire dealer and that my friends is your # 1 online rated and Angie's List 2010 and 2011 Super Service Award Winning Carolina Tire & Auto. Please remember that if you buy tires any place else than Carolina Tire & Auto, you'll pay way too much.

Even in Record Heat, Tire Care Should Be No Sweat!

55% of Vehicles Have At Least One Under Inflated Tire

CHARLOTTE, Aug. 3, 2011 -- Record-setting heat across the U.S. can add to the risk of tire failure for overloaded vehicles with under inflated tires driving at highway speeds.

"Heat is the enemy of a tire," said Jim Seidel, president of Carolina Tire & Auto. "Under inflated tires generate excess heat that, over time, can cause damage and lead to a failure."

A 2010 RMA survey found more than half of all vehicles have at least one under inflated tire. One in seven vehicles had a tire under inflated by 8 pounds per square inch (psi).

"Tires are built to last tens of thousands of miles but they can't take unlimited abuse," Seidel said. "The air in your tires is carrying you, your family, your cargo and your car's weight. When under inflated, a tire is over-stressed because it cannot support that load. Neglect your tire pressure for too long, particularly during the hottest time of the year and you're inviting potential trouble."

Carolina Tire & Auto operates a local education program from the RMA -- Be Tire Smart – Play Your PART -- to raise awareness about the importance of tire maintenance. PART is an acronym that stands for Pressure, Alignment, Rotation and Tread – the four basic elements of tire care.

Pressure – Check tire pressure every month and before long trips. Check tires when cold -- before you drive. Use the correct inflation pressure that is found on a label on the driver's door or check the owner's manual.

Alignment – Misaligned wheels can cause premature tire wear. Have alignment checked periodically or if you notice your vehicle "pulling" to the left or right. Hitting a pothole or curb could affect your wheel alignment.

Rotation – Rotate tires every 5,000-8,000 miles or check your owner's manual for a specific interval. Rotation helps tires wear evenly.

Tread – Inspect tread for damage every month when checking tire pressure. To ensure sufficient tread depth, do the penny test. Take a penny, insert upside down into tread groove. If you see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for new tires.

"Checking tires is simple and takes just five minutes," Seidel said. "If you don't do it yourself, Carolina Tire & Auto will do it for you free of charge. There's no reason to skimp on tire care."

Winter Driving Tips for Charlotte, NC

In case the weather breaks bad on us again here in the Carolinas, Carolina Tire & Auto has come up with some driving tips for you.

The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all, if you can avoid it.

Don't go out until the snow plows and sanding trucks have had a chance to do their work, and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.

If you must drive in snowy conditions, make sure your car is prepared and that you know how to handle road conditions.

It's helpful to practice winter driving techniques in a snowy, open parking lot, so you're familiar with how your car handles. Consult your owner's manual for tips specific to your vehicle.

Driving safely on icy roads

1. Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
2. Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.
3. Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
4. Keep your lights and windshield clean.
5. Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
6. Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.
7. Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges.
8. Don't pass snow plows and sanding trucks. The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to find the road in front of them worse than the road behind.
9. Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads.

If your rear wheels skid...

1. Take your foot off the accelerator.
2. Steer in the direction you want the front wheels to go. If your rear wheels are sliding left, steer left. If they're sliding right, steer right.
3. If your rear wheels start sliding the other way as you recover, ease the steering wheel toward that side. You might have to steer left and right a few times to get your vehicle completely under control.
4. If you have standard brakes, pump them gently.
5. If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS), do not pump the brakes. Apply steady pressure to the brakes. You will feel the brakes pulse — this is normal.

If your front wheels skid...

1. Take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral, but don't try to steer immediately.
2. As the wheels skid sideways, they will slow the vehicle and traction will return. As it does, steer in the direction you want to go. Then put the transmission in "drive" or release the clutch, and accelerate gently.

If you get stuck...

1. Do not spin your wheels. This will only dig you in deeper.
2. Turn your wheels from side to side a few times to push snow out of the way.
3. Use a light touch on the gas, to ease your car out.
4. Use a shovel to clear snow away from the wheels and the underside of the car.
5. Pour sand, kitty litter, gravel or salt in the path of the wheels, to help get traction.
6. Try rocking the vehicle. (Check your owner's manual first — it can damage the transmission on some vehicles.) Shift from forward to reverse, and back again. Each time you're in gear, give a light touch on the gas until the vehicle gets going.

If all else fails, call the # 1 rated auto center in all of Charlotte, NC at 704-553-9800 and we'll send someone to rescue you.

Winter Driving

The colder months of the year here in Charlotte can take their toll on your car, especially if you live up north or in the Mountains. But a few simple preventative measures will keep your car looking good and protect it from the ice and slush. Your car will thank you and you'll thank yourself when you get ready to sell it.

Here are a few tips for protecting your car from Charlotte's cold weather:

• Have all your vital fluids checked. Vital fluids include; oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, your coolant and your washer fluid. Carolina Tire & Auto will perform a 27 point inspection on all these vital fluids for free. You do not want to be out in the cold and have your coolant not working below freezing or your oil level to be too low. These all can cause serious damage to your engine, not to mention strand you out in the middle of I-485 waiting for a tow truck.
• Tires - Take a penny out of your pocket and put President Lincoln's head into the tread in at least 3 spots. If you CAN see his head, it's time to replace your tires. Winter in no time to fool around with trying to "stretch the tread life" out of your old tires. Your life is worth much more than saving a few hundred dollars on tires. During winter, even in Charlotte, NC it is recommended to put on winter tires or snow tires. Not because of all the snow we don't get, but the roads that continually have 42 degree weather and below can get just as slick. Winter tires have a "sticky" compound and tiny bubbles for better grip in these type of road conditions. Carolina Tire & Auto Repair recommends winter tires on most vehicles in Charlotte, NC.
• Batteries: With every service performed at Carolina Tire & Auto Repair we always perform a free battery, starter and charging system check. If your battery is low or dead, you are not going anywhere. If your alternator isn't charging your battery, it may cause strange electrical problems and or kill your battery.
• Bread and milk: If you have not had any of these services performed at Carolina Tire & Auto Repair, it's time to stock up on bread and milk in Charlotte as you are not going anywhere.
• Driving safely: If you have had your car serviced at Carolina Tire & Auto you know that your car has been serviced professionally for these items. Be aware that snow and ice are very slippery and require you to slow down and just go slow to where you need to go. Do not jerk the steering wheel or slam on your brakes. In this case, you will get to where you're going if you go slow.

Good driving and we'll see you at Carolina Tire & Auto for all your seasonal changes to your car.
