Keeping your wheels balanced is necessary to maintain a smooth ride as well as to lower the stress on your tires and suspension system. We will evaluate the need for your tire/wheel assembly, and follow through with appropriate balancing or re-balancing.

Wheel Alignment

To help ensure proper handling, even tire wear, and fuel efficiency, we recommend having your wheels realigned in the instance of any of these situations:

  • The vehicle pulls to the right or left while driving
  • The steering wheel is not straight while driving on level road, vibration is felt through the steering wheel or seat, or steering feels unstable
  • Tires show uneven wear
  • Wheels squeal on turns
  • You were recently involved in an accident or you hit a large pothole
  • You recently replaced steering or suspension parts

All of our alignments include performing a visual inspection of your vehicle’s steering and suspension components. We also use computer measurements to accurately restore the alignment of your wheels according to factory specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tires

How often should I rotate my tires?

To keep your tires in tip-top shape, most manufacturers recommend rotating them every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. If you happen to get your oil changed every 5,000 miles, that’s a convenient time to knock out both tasks together! This helps ensure even wear and tear, maximizing your tire life and safety on the road.


How long can you drive on a spare tire?

While a spare tire gets you out of a jam, it’s not built for marathons. Here’s the lowdown:

  • Short and slow is the way to go: Aim for 50 miles or less and keep your speed under 50 mph. Pushing it further or faster puts both you and your car at risk.
  • Donut vs. full-size matters: If you have a temporary “donut” spare, stick to the 50/50 rule above. But if you have a full-size spare, treat it like a regular tire and drive normally.
  • Check your manual: This will often give you the manufacturer’s specific recommendations for your car and spare tire type.

Remember, a spare is a temporary solution. Get your flat tire fixed or replaced as soon as possible for optimal safety and performance.


Should I “mix” tire types on my car?

In general, it’s best to avoid mixing tire types on your car. Different sizes, constructions, or even just brands can affect your vehicle’s handling and safety. Imagine wearing mismatched shoes while running – it wouldn’t feel right, would it?

Here’s why matching tires is important:

Safety first: Uneven handling and traction from mismatched tires can increase stopping distances and make your car less predictable, especially in tricky situations like bad weather or emergency maneuvers.

Performance matters: Different tires can affect your car’s fuel efficiency, ride comfort, and overall performance.

Your car’s tires are crucial for your safety on the road. Don’t gamble with mismatched ones!


What are the advantages of using nitrogen instead of air?

Slower leaks, happier tires: Nitrogen molecules are bigger than oxygen molecules, making them escape from tires at a slower rate. This means less frequent pressure checks and top-ups, potentially saving you time and hassle.

Temperature tantrums? Not with nitrogen: Air pressure fluctuates with temperature changes, but nitrogen is less susceptible. This means more consistent pressure, leading to potentially better fuel economy, longer tire life, and improved handling.

But is it worth the hype? While nitrogen offers some benefits, consider these points:

  • Cost: Filling with nitrogen usually involves a fee, while air is free (at least at first).
  • Accessibility: Not all tire shops offer nitrogen service.
  • Debatable benefits: Some studies show minimal real-world differences between nitrogen and air for most drivers.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. If convenience and consistent pressure are priorities, nitrogen might be worth exploring. But if budget and accessibility are concerns, regular air inflation with proper pressure checks may suffice.

Remember: Regardless of your choice, regular pressure checks are crucial for tire safety and performance.


Can you mix air and nitrogen in your tires?

Here’s what to remember:

  • It’s not harmful: Mixing air and nitrogen won’t damage your tires.
  • It’s not ideal: You’ll lose the advantages of nitrogen inflation.
  • It’s temporary: Treat it as a quick fix, not a long-term solution.

You can safely add regular air to nitrogen-filled tires if they’re running low on pressure. Since regular air contains about 78% nitrogen, topping up tires initially filled with nitrogen won’t cause any problems.
