While today's vehicles are geared toward maximum efficiency when they are designed, vehicle parts will begin to suffer in efficiency after extended use, due to simple wear and tear.

Having fully functional tires plays a crucial role in vehicle safety and performance. If you can insert a penny into your tire tread and still see Lincoln's head, it is a good time to get new tires. Also depending on how the tires have been worn down on the inside and outside, there could be alignment issues that will require a new set of tires. If there is any uncertainty about bad tire alignment, take it to get checked out right away. It is important to rotate a vehicle's tires roughly every 5000 to 10,000 miles to keep all the tires wearing out evenly. Not rotating tires will result in the front tires tread disappearing faster than the rear tires. It is also important to keep the proper amount of air in your tires. If you would like more information about tire safety or have any questions, please contact our service department and you will be taken care of.
