Look for signs such as visible tread wear indicators, cracks in the sidewall, excessive vibration while driving, or tread depth less than 2/32 of an inch. We recommend a free tire inspection if you’re unsure.

All-season tires provide adequate performance in various conditions. Winter tires use special rubber compounds that remain flexible in cold temperatures and feature tread patterns specifically designed for snow and ice traction, offering significantly better safety in severe winter conditions.

For all-wheel drive vehicles, we recommend replacing all four tires simultaneously to prevent drivetrain damage. For front or rear-wheel drive vehicles, it’s best to replace tires in pairs to maintain proper handling and safety.

Yes, but proper fitment is crucial. When upgrading rim size, the overall diameter should remain close to original specifications. Our specialists can help select the right combination of rim size and tire profile.

Aftermarket rims enhance appearance, can reduce weight for better handling, provide wider fitment options for performance tires, and potentially increase resale value. Quality rims also offer better durability in areas with rough roads.

Regular cleaning with pH-balanced soap prevents corrosion from road salt and brake dust. For polished or chrome rims, periodic application of quality wheel wax helps protect the finish. We offer professional cleaning and restoration services.

A properly functioning battery should maintain charge. If your battery frequently needs jump-starting, it’s likely failing. We offer free battery testing that determines if your battery can be recharged or needs replacement, including checking if the problem is with the alternator.

The best battery depends on your vehicle specifications, driving habits, and climate. We consider factors such as cold cranking amps (CCA), reserve capacity, size, and terminal position to recommend the optimal battery for your needs.

Most car batteries last 3-5 years, depending on usage patterns and climate. We recommend having your battery tested annually after it reaches 3 years of age. Signs of a failing battery include slow engine cranking and dimming headlights.

Standard tire installation and balancing typically takes 30-60 minutes for a full set. Rim and tire packages may take 1-2 hours depending on complexity. Battery installation usually takes 30 minutes or less, with times varying during peak seasons.
