New Tires Start Here. We’ll Handle the Rest.
Tires don’t last forever. Under normal driving conditions they can last anywhere from five to six years, but if you do a lot of hauling or off-road driving, you may need to replace them sooner. The main thing to watch is tread depth — once your tires hit 2/32-inch or shallower, it’s time for a new set. Many tires are built with tread wear indicators that become visible once you’ve reached that threshold, making it easy to know when you’re due.
Other signs it’s time for new tires include:
Consistent air loss. If you’re regularly topping off a tire, it may be beyond repair and due for replacement.
Uneven tread wear. Often a sign of an alignment or suspension issue, but also means your tires aren’t wearing evenly and may need to be replaced sooner than expected.
Vibrations or unusual noises. These can point to internal tire damage that isn’t always visible from the outside.
Cracked or bubbled rubber. Sidewall damage, cracks, or bubbles mean the tire’s structural integrity is compromised — don’t wait on these.
We recommend doing a quick visual inspection of your tires monthly. If anything looks off, bring it in and we’ll take a look.
How to Choose the Right Tires
Not all tires are created equal, and choosing the right set for your vehicle matters more than most people realize. The wrong size affects traction and handling, and by extension, your safety. Your correct tire size is listed in your owner’s manual and on your driver’s side door jamb — that’s the size you need to stick with.
Beyond size, here’s what to consider:
All-season tires. The most popular choice for everyday drivers. Designed to perform reliably across different weather conditions with solid mileage life.
Performance all-season tires. A step up in handling and responsiveness, still suitable for year-round use.
Summer tires. Optimized for warm weather driving with better grip and cornering in dry and wet conditions.
Winter tires. Designed specifically for cold weather, ice, and snow — a worthwhile investment if you regularly drive in those conditions.
All-terrain tires. Built for drivers who split time between pavement and off-road surfaces.
