What kind of tires do you sell and repair?We handle most types of tires and service every one of them. Our main areas of expertise are tractor tires, passenger / light truck tires, medium truck tires and farm implement tires. However, we do handle Off The Road (OTR) tires, industrial & forklift tires, as well as floatation, ATV and garden tractor tires. We unfortunately do not sell motorcycle or airplane tires. Back to TopWhy should I buy winter tires?If you live in a region that experiences extended winter periods, winter tires will greatly improve your traction, braking and steering response. Vastly increasing your safety and convenience. You will immediately notice that your car feels much more sure footed. We liken it to the difference between going out on ice in dress shoes or hiking boots you can tell the difference right away. Winter tires are designed especially to grip on snow or ice, they have an open tread pattern with lots of edges to grip difficult surfaces and the rubber is compounded to remain flexible even in extreme cold. Ask our sales department for a recommendation they are experts and will be more than happy to help you. Back to TopDo you do wheel alignments ?Yes we do. Since completion of our new service facility We are offering the very best in complete under the car service including wheel alignments, brake jobs, shocks, struts, etc. Back to TopWhat is your service area ?We will go anywhere that you need us, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our normal service area is a 65KM radius from our shop but we have been known to go 200 km if need be. Our service call rate is 40$ for the first 35KM and then 1$ per KM after that. Back to TopWhat is the proper pressure for my tractor tires ?(How to determine your ideal air pressure). For example change The split on a 2WD to 30% front and 70% rear. Then add the
weight of the implement onto the total rear axle weight of the tractor. Back to TopWhat is a thrust line?A thrust line is a picture of the direction that your car or trucks back axle is "pushing" you in. The thrust line is then compared to the actual center line of the vehicle, and the axle is adjusted accordingly. Then the front wheel alignment is done.
Back to TopWhat are your hours ?We are open Monday to Friday 8:00-5:30 and Saturday 8:00-12:00. We are also available 24 hours a day 7 days a week to do tire repairs by calling the Kincardine answering service at (519) 396-4800. A $ 30 after hours charge will apply. What is the difference between a "mold cure" and a "Pre cure" recap?A conventional "Pre cure" cap is a pre formed piece of tread rubber that is applied to a tire that has been buffed (shaved) and had a layer of gum rubber (very sticky rubber) applied. A "Mold Cure" cap's preparation is similar, the tire is buffed down the same way as in a "Pre cure" but instead of putting on a piece of pre formed tread rubber, the rubber is extruded onto the casing and then placed in a mold and pressurized. The advantage of a "Mold cure" is that there is no seam that could come apart as a result of heat and time.
Can you repair holes in tire sidewalls? Yes we can repair a wide variety of sidewall injuries. Sidewall injuries are not repairable using a conventional plug type repair, however they can be repaired unless they are quite large. Before you scrap a tire because it has this type of injury give us a call we have saved money for thousands of our customers by repairing injuries like these.
Yes we do. This is one of the most common questions we are asked by prospective customers because of our name. Our name Kinfarm was chosen because the business was originally founded on a farm in Kincardine Township. We have sold and serviced car and light truck tires as well as farm and construction tires since day one. |
