Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace just one tire, or do I need a full set?
Replacing just one tire is possible if the others have sufficient tread and similar wear, but matching pairs or a full set is often safer, especially for AWD and 4WD vehicles. We’ll help you determine the right approach.
How long does a typical tire replacement take?
Most tire replacements depend on vehicle type and service details. With our complimentary shuttle, you don’t have to wait on-site if you have a busy day.

Yes, we handle old tire disposal, ensuring responsible and convenient service for every customer.

FAQs
-
Q. "How often should you rotate your tires?"As a general rule of thumb, we recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 - 6,000 miles (although your driving style and vehicle types should also be taken into consideration). Rotating front and rear tires helps to ensure your tread wears down more evenly, optimizing your tire performance and extending its lifespan.
-
Q. "How do I tell if I need my tires rotated?"If you notice uneven wear across your tires or vibrations when driving, it may be time for a rotation.
-
Q. "How long should my tires last?"Your tire’s lifetime in mileage will depend on your maintenance and driving habits. Your tires could last up to 60,000 miles if you take good care of them, but this mileage will decrease if you don’t perform regular tire rotations.
