Comprehensive Wheel and Tire Services
Our wheel and tire services include tire mounting and balancing, tire rotation, wheel alignment, tire repair, and tire replacement. Tire mounting involves fitting new tires onto the wheels and ensuring proper seating and inflation. Balancing ensures that the weight distribution of the tire and wheel assembly is even, minimizing vibrations and extending tire life. Rotation involves periodically moving tires to different positions on the vehicle to promote even tread wear and maximize tire longevity.
A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels to manufacturer specifications, optimizing handling, steering response, and tire wear. Tire repair services address punctures, leaks, and other damage to restore tire integrity and safety. Additionally, wheel and tire services may include customization options such as tire lettering, rim replacement, and wheel refinishing to enhance the vehicle's aesthetic appeal.

Common Wheels and Tire Service Questions
How often should I have my wheel alignment checked, and what are the signs that it's out of alignment?
It's generally recommended to have your wheel alignment checked annually or whenever you notice signs of misalignment. Signs of misalignment include uneven or rapid tire wear, drifting or pulling to one side while driving, steering wheel vibration, or a crooked steering wheel when driving straight.Can I mix different tire brands or tread patterns on my vehicle, or is it better to stick with a matching set?
While it's generally recommended to use a matching set of tires to maintain uniformity in performance, handling, and traction, mixing tire brands or tread patterns may be acceptable in certain situations. However, it's essential to consider factors such as tire size, load rating, speed rating, and tread design compatibility. Consult with one of our tire professionals to determine if mixing tires is appropriate for your vehicle and driving needs.What are the benefits of upgrading to larger wheels and low-profile tires?
Upgrading to larger wheels and low-profile tires can enhance the appearance of your vehicle and improve handling and cornering performance. Larger wheels provide a more aggressive stance and allow for larger brake calipers and rotors, enhancing braking capability. Low-profile tires offer improved responsiveness and steering feel."Is it necessary to have my tires rebalanced after rotating them, and why? "
Yes, tire rotation involves moving tires to different positions on the vehicle to promote even tread wear and extend tire life. However, this can disrupt the balance of the tire and wheel assembly. Rebalancing ensures that weight distribution is evenly distributed, minimizing vibrations and maintaining smooth vehicle operation.
