When your tires tire...

When you buy a brand new car, you get brand new tires on that car. They have a tread of usually between 10/32 and 15/32 of an inch. Within a couple years (depending how much you drive the car), those tires will need to be replaced. You can use a tread depth gauge to get the exact depth of your tires tread. Tread can be different on each tire so it's a good idea to get the depth of each tire.

Tire depth gauges are smaller than a pen. You can purchase them at any car parts store, or you can stop in to our for a free assessment of your tires.

We keep many tires in stock: Continental, Dunlop, Firestone, General, Goodyear,  Hankook, Kelly, Michelin, Nexen, Uniroyal, and Yokahama. When you purchase similar tires to the ones that came on your vehicle, road hazard protection is included. This means that if you hit something on the road that damages your tire, we will fix or replace the tire for free.

Replacement tires can cost anywhere from $79.95/tire to $339.95/tire depending on your vehicle. Because tires can be a costly replacement for your vehicle, we always give you an A, B and C option for their budget and driving needs.

• The C option is a good tire, it will definitely be a good fit for your vehicle, but might not last as long as the better or best options. 
• The B option is the better option; it will have a longer warranty and will last longer than the C option. 
• The A option is the "best" tire recommendation for your vehicle, it is likely the most costly option, but will have a longer warranty and mileage expectancy.

Most new tires on the road are either "all-weather" or "winter" tires. Winter tires are not meant to be used all-year-round, but are better for winter driving because the rubber formula is compounded differently and is more flexible in colder weather. If you do some heavy winter driving, you might want to get winter tires, otherwise, for everyday driving, "all-weather" tires will work just  fine.

Tires should be replaces at 3/32 of an inch tread left. If your tire tread is less than  the 3/32, you should not be driving on it. Tires cannot do their job with less than 3/32 tread.

Rotating Tires regularly (every other oil change) will increase the life of your tires by 30 %.

Is it a myth that the condition of your tires will effect your gas mileage? No - under inflated tires can have a negative impact on your gas mileage, so keep them filled to the appropriate weight depending on your tire. Your car's manual should have a chart for your tire pressure.

You can get tire options and pricing for your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram vehicle(s) on our website.
