Tires should be replaced when tread depth is at or below 2/32″, when you see cords or cracks, or if there is uneven wear, bulges, or repeated loss of air. Regular visual checks and professional inspections help catch issues early and keep you safer on the road. For a quick, no-obligation tire inspection, call or visit our shop today.

New tires offer full tread life, better warranty coverage, and more predictable performance, while quality used tires can be a budget-friendly option if tread depth and age are within safe limits. Used tires should always be inspected for patches, sidewall damage, and date codes to ensure they are still safe to run. If you are unsure whether new or used is right for you, stop by or contact our team for personalized recommendations.

Most vehicles benefit from a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or at least at every other oil change, depending on driving habits and drivetrain type. Regular rotation helps even out tread wear, extends tire life, and can improve ride comfort and fuel economy. Ask us to schedule your next tire rotation or add it to your upcoming service visit.

The correct tire pressure is set by the vehicle manufacturer and listed on the tire information label in the driver’s door jamb and in the owner’s manual, not on the tire sidewall. Checking and adjusting pressure at least once a month and before long trips helps with safety, fuel efficiency, and tire life. If you’d like a free pressure check and adjustment, stop by our shop and we’ll set your tires to the proper psi.

Mixing brands or tread patterns on the same axle can affect traction, braking, and stability, and is generally not recommended unless approved by a professional. Ideally, tires on each axle should match in size, type, and tread pattern for consistent performance. If you currently have a mix of tires and are unsure if it’s safe, bring your vehicle by or call us and we’ll evaluate your setup.
