Are your tires safe? Let our team make sure.

Are you confident your tires are in great shape and ready to take you anywhere you want to go? In any weather? Can stop when necessary, even if the road conditions are not optimal. Our drivers depend on our team to check their tires on every visit and determine just how much tread is left. We check the tires based on the manufacturer's estimation and tread wear, as well as your driving habits. Those habits play a significant factor in determining how soon you need to change out your tires. Tire manufacturers analyze their tires' capabilities under various road conditions and speeds to ensure the safety and durability of their tires. These tests are conducted on all factory-made tires, whether intended for rain, snow, off-road, performance, or fuel conservation. Among the many tests done on new tires is stopping distance, and many factors determine that distance! Our job is to ensure your safety on the road after you leave our shop so you can drive with peace of mind.

How do you determine what safe tire tread is for your vehicle?

It takes 5 minutes to check your tires and ensure they are safe properly.

Tread Depth & Wear. A simple way to determine whether you need tires is the quarter test. Insert a quarter upside down into your tire's tread. If your tire tread does not touch George Washington's head, it's time to replace your tires.

5/32" or greater depth: Your tires are in good condition and do not need to be replaced.

4/32" Depth: Your tires should be monitored, and you may notice a decline in wet weather performance.

3/32" Depth: Monitor your tires closely and replace them soon to ensure your vehicle is road-ready, safe, and dependable.

2/32" Depth or less: You need tires now. Driving is unsafe with tires in this condition and should be replaced immediately.

Inflation: Check the air pressure monthly before taking long trips. Poor inflation can cause premature wear, increased fuel consumption, and tire failure.
Rotation: Your tires should be rotated every 3,000-5,000 miles. This helps maintain proper traction and maximizes tread life when done consistently.
Eye Check Daily: Inspect your tires daily for penetrations, bulges, cracks, and abnormal wear. Don't forget to check the tire edges for damage caused by misalignment or under-inflation.
