This is what happens when moisture gets inside of your tire after filling them somwhere where they don't keep hoses indoors (gas stations, etc). The moisture at high speeds and high heat become abrasive to your tire and cause these little rubber balls to appear. You can often hear them, sometimes feel them while driving.

It happens at gas station air pumps because they don't usually have dryers to keep the hoses from collecting moisture through the year. Did anyone know this or has anyone every dealt with this before?

Supporting local is more important now than ever. Whether you choose our business or another locally owned shop in town, we hope you'll continue to support the businesses that make Marengo such a special community.

And this isn't just about automotive shops. It's about supporting our local gas stations, grocery store, insurance agents, restaurants, laundromat, hairdressers, barbers, and the many other small businesses that serve our community every day.

Every dollar spent locally helps support local families, creates local jobs, and keeps our town strong. When local businesses thrive, Marengo thrives.

Thankful for our Marengo Police Department, who are the best partners to have on the road during a tow when traffic needs to be slowed down or blocked to keep everyone safe. We appreciate their support and teamwork out there.
