Are all tires the same?
No. There are a variety of tires designed for different needs. The right kind for you will depend factors such as wet or dry traction, high mileage, high speed control, steering response, ride comfort or all of these. We'll help you find a set of tires that works for your vehicle.
What should I look for in a tire?
If you talk with us about what you need, we can make the process simple. We'll ask questions about your expectations of the tires, the type of driving you do and how long you plan to keep your car. This will help us select the best tires for your vehicle and your budget.
How can I tell when it?s time to replace my tires?
There's a simple test for determining if your tires need to be replaced, called the penny test. If you place a penny in the tread of your tires with Lincoln's head upside down, the top of his head should disappear. If you can see his entire head, this means your tires are worn down and it's time for new ones.
Do I really need to rotate my tires?
Rotating your tires is crucial, because it keeps them from wearing down unevenly. Our service department can help you keep your tires rotated.
