WHAT BRANDS OF TIRES DO YOU SELL?
We sell all types of tires... Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Kumho, Yokohama, Pirelli, Dunlop, Firestone, Continental, Uniroyal, BF Goodrich, etc. We generally recommend you replace current tires with the same size and brand as the original equipment that came on your car. We can get any type of tire from the most exotic tires to the most basic for a limited budget.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY TIRES BE ROTATED?
Rotation is taking the tires off and moving them front to back on the car so the tires wear evenly. Tires need to be rotated properly according to the type of vehicle you have. Proper rotation makes tires last longer. The NHTSA recommends that his be done every 5,000 miles.
DOES TIRE PRESSURE AFFECT GAS MILEAGE?
The air pressure inside the tires affects the overall performance of the vehicle. The tires need to be properly inflated to get optimum gas mileage and proper wear on the tire itself. The NHTSA recommends that tire pressure be checked once a month. If you don't know how to do it correctly, a full-service gas station can provide this service. The money saved at a self-service gas station may be lost in poorer gas mileage overall, if you don't maintain the proper tire pressure.
WHY IS TIRE MAINTENANCE SO IMPORTANT?
Properly maintained tires improve stopping, steering, load carrying capacity and traction of your vehicle. Tires that are under inflated or over-loaded are a major cause of tire failure. Bald tires are not only dangerous, but illegal. Have us check the condition of your tires regularly for your family's safety.
WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY, WHY DO SOME TIRES WEAR OUT FASTER?
Tires are very high-tech products, but some of today's vehicles are harder on tires. All-wheel drive cars will often wear out tires faster. Also the larger "high-performance" tires with less wall area (rubber), tend to get damaged more easily, by curbs, potholes, etc.
WHICH CARS NEED SNOW TIRES?
It depends on your vehicle and driving needs. Generally cars with rear wheel drive need snow tires. Also, if you have "ultra-high performance" tires on a front-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle for driving on summer road conditions, you may need snows for better traction in the winter.
