How to Tell If You Need New Tires
A quick check of your tires can tell you a lot about their condition:
- Uneven tread wear
- Cracks, bubbles, or bulges
- Visible cords or fabric
- Shallow tread depth
The Penny Test
Not sure if your tread is too low? Try this simple test:
- Place a penny in the tire tread with Lincoln’s head facing down.
- If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tread is too worn and it’s time for new tires.
- If Lincoln’s head is mostly covered, your tread is still within the safe range.
When in doubt, bring your vehicle by — our tire experts will gladly check for you.

Which Tires Are Right for Your Vehicle?

From there, the right choice depends on your driving needs:
- All-Season Tires – reliable in most weather conditions
- All-Terrain Tires – designed for trucks and SUVs with off-road capability
- Performance Tires – for enhanced handling and grip
Whether you drive a car, truck, or SUV, our trained technicians will help you choose the best tires for your lifestyle, budget, and road conditions.
Understanding Tire Numbers
The numbers and letters on your tire’s sidewall tell you everything about its size and capability:
- Service Type – “P” = passenger vehicle, “LT” = light truck
- Tire Width – first number (in millimeters, sidewall to sidewall)
- Aspect Ratio – height of the sidewall compared to the width (the number after the slash)
- Construction – usually “R” for radial
- Rim Diameter – wheel size in inches
- Load Index – how much weight the tire can carry
- Speed Rating – the maximum safe speed for that tire
