Tire Care & Maintenance
Haven't bothered checking your tires for a while? By neglecting them you're not only jeopardizing your daily safety, but also potentially wasting money. When customers at our tire shop ask how often to check tires, we recommend inspecting them monthly as well as before heading on road trips.
There are a number of ways to tell if your tires are no longer safe, including:
- Tread that's 2/32" or less
- Cracks and cuts in the rubber
- Bulging or bubbles in the sidewall
- Excessively uneven tread wear
- Strong vibration when driving at high speeds

Tire Alignment Near Me
Have you been experiencing noticeable pulling, uneven tread wear or a crooked-looking steering wheel? If so, visit us for your next tire alignment. Keep in mind that while there are some obvious signs of misalignment, often times drivers can't tell because they gradually compensate as their alignment changes. Therefore, it's a good idea to have professional alignment checks every six months.
When to Rotate & Balance Tires
It's recommended to rotate tires about every six months, while wheel balancing should be conducted approximately every 8,000 to 10,000 kms. When you don't rotate your tires, you'll notice that the ones in front wear out much faster, while skipping wheel balances will eventually cause uncomfortable vibration, especially when driving at faster speeds.
