Tire valves will be inspected and replacement recommended if any cracking appears. Rubber deteriorates over time and tire valves are not expected to last beyond the life of two standard tires in normal service.  As a rule of thumb, the industry recommends replacing tire valves whenever new tires are installed.

New tire installation includes balancing. Tires should be balanced each time they are mounted on a wheel, for example after installation of a new tire, or remounting a tire after a proper flat repair.

Properly balanced tires are important for driving comfort and long tire life. As tires wear, the balancing characteristics may change leading to a vibration that develops over time.  Tires should be re-balanced at the first sign of vibration or "shimmy". An unbalanced tire can cause vibration, resulting in driver fatigue, premature tire wear and unnecessary wear to your vehicle's suspension components. 

New tires include free inspection by our trained personnel. 

When you can't get to the shop and you need to do-it-yourself, try the "Penny Test".  Grab your spare change and follow these 3 easy steps:

1. Take a penny and hold Abe's body between your thumb and forefinger.
   
2. Select a point on your tire where tread appears the lowest and place Lincoln's head into one of the grooves.
   
3. If any part of Abe Lincoln's head is covered by the tread, you're driving with the legal and safe amount of tread. If the tread does not reach Abe's head (approximately 2/32 of an inch), your car's ability to grip the road is greatly reduced. Contact us for assistance in replacing the worn tire.
