Q. What should the p.s.i be in my tires?

1. On newer cars, the recommended pressure is most commonly listed on a sticker inside the driver's door. If there's no sticker on the door, you can usually find the specs in the owner's manual. Most passenger cars will recommend 32 to 35 psi in the tires when they're cold.

 

Q. Can my tire be repaired?

1. As long as the puncture is with the tread design, it is repairable. Anything out side of that is not repairable.

 

Q. If I only purchase 2 new tires, should I put them on the front or the rear?

1. Manufacturers recommend to place new tires on the rear to prevent fish tailing. But being in a dry climate, we recommend placing them in the front for better handling of the vehicle.

 

Q. Do I need to balance my tires?

1. Balancing should be done every time you get a new set of tires. Each tire is unique in terms of weight and needs to be balanced properly. Balancing should also be done any time you get new wheels or rims. Even if the wheel and tire are balanced on their own, when you pair them together it can create an imbalance.

​

Q. Do I need to align my car every time I get new tires?

1. There are a couple ways to tell if your car needs a tire alignment. If you've noticed one or more of these indicators, you should have your alignment checked by a licensed service technician immediately.

3. -Vehicle pulling to the left or right
