Your tires are crucial for safety, fuel economy, and ride quality. Smart tire care pays off in every way.

**Rotation Schedule**
Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles or as your owner's manual recommends. This ensures even wear and extends tire life. Front tires typically wear faster, so rotation keeps all four lasting longer.

**When to Replace**
Tires usually last 3-5 years or 25,000-50,000 miles, depending on driving habits and conditions. When tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch (about the thickness of a penny), replacement is urgent for safety.

**Check Tire Health**
Look for bulges, cracks, or uneven wear. Low pressure reduces fuel economy and handling-check it monthly. Our service team can inspect and advise at every visit.

**Pressure Matters**
Correct tire pressure improves gas mileage, braking, and tire life. Check your door jamb or manual for your vehicle's specs; cold tire pressure is most accurate.

**Genuine Parts Available**
Our parts department stocks quality tires and wheels matched to your Jeep, RAM, Dodge, or Chrysler. We can order, mount, and balance them quickly.
