What the Experts Say About Tires & Safety
"In the small percentage (2%) of crashes where the critical reason was assigned to the vehicle, tire problems accounted for about 35 percent (±11.4%) or 15,000 of these crashes."
— NHTSA, Critical Reasons for Crashes Investigated in the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey, 2005-2007 (most recent official report)
"AAA’s testing demonstrates the impact that tire tread depth has on a vehicle’s ability to stop safely, particularly on wet pavement. Worn tires can increase stopping distances and reduce handling ability, especially in adverse weather conditions."
— AAA Newsroom, Worn Tires a Safety Risk for Motorists
"Keeping your tires properly inflated can save you up to 11 cents per gallon. Your tires will also last longer, as proper tire inflation can extend a tire’s life by 4,700 miles."

Tire Installation
When buying new tires, proper installation ensures safety, performance, and long-term value. We follow manufacturer specifications and help you choose the right size, tread, and rating for your vehicle.
We recommend:
- Installing in full sets of four or matching axle pairs
- Consulting your owner’s manual for specs
- Asking us to help you compare brands and pricing
Tire Balancing
Unbalanced tires lead to vibration, premature wear, and poor ride quality. We recommend checking tire balance:
- With every new tire purchase
- Every 4,000–6,000 miles
- If you feel shaking at higher speeds
Tire Rotation
Because tire wear is uneven across your vehicle, rotations are critical for maximizing tread life. Regular rotations help:
- Prevent premature wear
- Improve handling
- Boost fuel efficiency
Rotate your tires every 5,000–7,000 miles, or with every oil change.
Tire Inspection
Our certified technicians check for:
- Embedded nails, screws, or sharp objects
- Sidewall bulges, cracks, or dry rot
- Uneven wear patterns or bald spots
- Low tread depth or air pressure issues
Routine inspections prevent small problems from becoming major safety hazards.
