Summer tires are designed for optimal performance in warm weather, offering superior grip and handling on dry and wet roads but becoming less effective in cold temperatures. All-season tires provide balanced performance across a variety of conditions, including mild winter weather, though they don't match the specialized traction of summer or winter tires.
Winter tires are specifically engineered for cold temperatures, ice, and snow, featuring a softer rubber compound and deeper tread patterns for superior traction and braking. All-weather tires combine the benefits of all-season and winter tires, offering improved performance in snowy conditions while remaining suitable for year-round use.
Both winter and all-weather tires are marked with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) symbol, signifying that they meet industry standards for severe snow performance. This certification often qualifies drivers for winter tire rebates or discounts on insurance from participating providers. Be sure to check with your insurance company for eligibility requirements.

The recommended tire pressure can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. You can usually find the recommended tire pressure in your vehicle's owner's manual or on a placard inside the door jamb. It is important to regularly check your tire pressure and maintain it at the recommended level for optimal safety and performance.
There are several signs that your tires may need replacement. One of the most important indicators is tread wear. If the tread is worn down to the built-in wear bars or has less than 3/32" of depth, it's time for new tires. Cracks, cuts, or bulges on the sidewalls can also signal potential safety issues. Uneven wear or a rough ride may point to tire problems or vehicle alignment issues. Additionally, even if your tires appear in good condition, they should generally be replaced every 6 to 10 years as the rubber naturally degrades over time.
If you're unsure, we encourage you to visit us. Our team will be happy to inspect your tires and provide honest, expert advice.
Wheel alignment refers to the adjustment of the angles of the wheels to ensure that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Proper wheel alignment is important for even tire wear, optimal handling, and fuel efficiency.
In many cases, a punctured tire can be safely repaired if the damage is within the tread area and the puncture is ¼ inch (6 mm) or smaller. However, if the damage is on the sidewall or the puncture is too large, the tire will need to be replaced. Tire repairs must be done correctly to ensure safety and maintain tire integrity. Our expert technicians can assess the damage and advise you on whether a repair is safe or if replacement is necessary.
Several factors influence the price of a tire, including its brand, size, and type. One of the primary factors is the tire’s durability and expected lifespan — tires designed to last longer often come with higher upfront costs but offer better long-term value. The size of the tire and how commonly it is used also play a role; more widely used sizes are typically more affordable, while specialty sizes tend to cost more. Premium brands that use advanced materials and technology often have higher prices. Additionally, tires designed for specific applications, such as performance or off-road driving, may be more expensive. The tire's composition, tread design, and speed rating further impact pricing, as these factors affect durability, traction, and handling. Our team is happy to help you find the best tire options to fit your budget and driving needs.
