• Visible damage

What Tire Type Is Right for Your Driving?

Tire category selection affects daily performance more significantly than brand choice. Understanding differences helps match tires to actual needs.

All-Season Tires provide balanced year-round performance for moderate climates.

Performance All-Season Tires enhance handling response, cornering grip, and wet-weather performance compared to standard all-season designs, while maintaining reasonable wear life. 

Highway/Touring Tires emphasize ride comfort, low noise, and maximum tread life.

Light Truck and SUV Tires divide into subcategories based on usage:

• Highway-terrain (H/T) tires prioritize on-road comfort and fuel efficiency for SUVs and trucks rarely driven off-pavement
• All-terrain (A/T) tires provide moderate off-road capability with acceptable on-road manners
• Mud-terrain (M/T) tires maximize off-road traction for serious off-road use but compromise on-road comfort, noise, and fuel economy

Load Range and Ply Rating matter significantly for trucks regularly carrying heavy loads or towing boats, campers, or trailers.

What’s Included in Our Tire Installation Service?

Complete professional installation ensures new tires perform safely and last their full expected lifespan.

• • Valve Stem Replacement (optional) 

• Tire Disposal

How Should You Maintain Tires for Maximum Lifespan?

Proper tire maintenance extends tread life by 25-40% compared to neglected tires, saving hundreds of dollars while maintaining safety.

Monthly pressure checks prevent the most common cause of premature tire wear. 

Tire rotation every 5,000-7,000 miles distributes wear evenly across all four tires.

Alignment checks should occur after tire installation (included free with tire purchase), when you notice pulling or uneven wear, after suspension work, when hitting significant potholes (common on Tennessee roads after winter), or annually as preventative maintenance.

Visual inspections during every service visit catch developing problems early.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do tires typically last?

Most all-season tires deliver 50,000-70,000 miles with proper rotation and inflation maintenance. Performance tires typically last 40,000-60,000 miles due to softer compounds optimized for grip. Light truck tires vary from 40,000 miles for aggressive off-road designs to 70,000+ miles for highway-oriented models. Regardless of tread depth remaining, tires over 6 years old should be inspected annually for age-related degradation – rubber breaks down from UV exposure and heat cycling common in our climate even when tread depth appears adequate.

Can you repair a tire with a nail or puncture?

We repair tires when punctures meet strict safety criteria: located in the tread area (not shoulder or sidewall), puncture diameter 1/4″ or smaller, no previous repairs in immediately adjacent areas, and tire overall condition is good. We use professional combination plug-patch repairs installed from inside the tire after thorough inspection – not quick external plug-only repairs that can fail. Sidewall punctures, large holes, multiple punctures, or damage from driving on a flat tire typically cannot be safely repaired and require replacement. We inspect damage thoroughly and advise honestly about repair feasibility.

Do I need to replace all four tires at once?

All-wheel-drive vehicles typically require replacing all four tires simultaneously because tread depth differences between tires cause driveline stress, binding, and expensive component damage to transfer cases and differentials. Front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles can often replace tires in pairs (both fronts or both rears) if tread depth difference between new and remaining tires is 3/32″ or less. We measure your existing tires precisely and advise whether pair replacement is safe for your vehicle or if all four need replacement for safety and mechanical reasons.

What’s the difference between tire rotation patterns?

Front-wheel-drive vehicles typically use front-to-rear rotation with cross-pattern for the rear tires moving to front. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles often use a different cross pattern. All-wheel-drive vehicles may require specific patterns depending on the AWD system design. Directional tires (with tread patterns designed to rotate in only one direction) must stay on the same side of the vehicle, rotating only front-to-rear. Staggered fitments (different size tires front and rear, common on performance vehicles) cannot be rotated between axles. We follow the correct pattern specified for your specific vehicle and tire design.

Is road hazard warranty worth buying?

Road hazard protection typically costs 10-15% of your tire purchase price and covers unrepairable punctures, impact damage from potholes, and sidewall cuts – common issues on Tennessee and Alabama roads with potholes, construction debris, and varying road conditions. Coverage makes financial sense for drivers who frequently encounter rough roads, construction zones, or gravel surfaces, or for those purchasing expensive tires where single replacement cost is significant. If you rarely experience tire damage and purchased value-tier tires, you might choose to self-insure. We explain coverage terms clearly and let you decide based on your typical driving environment and risk tolerance.
