Tire FAQ
How often should I replace my tires?
Most tires last 40,000-80,000 miles depending on type, driving conditions, and maintenance, but tread depth and age are more important than mileage.
Do I need to replace all four tires at once?
While ideal, it’s not always necessary. We can advise based on your vehicle type, tire wear patterns, and budget considerations.
When should I switch to winter tires?
When temperatures consistently drop below 45°F, winter tires provide significantly better traction and safety than all-season tires.
