How do I find my tire size?
Look on the side of the tire for a code like 225/65R17. It's also on the sticker inside the driver's door.
In 225/65R17, 225 is the width in millimeters, 65 is the sidewall height as a percent of the width, R means radial, and 17 is the wheel size in inches. Not sure? Text us a photo of the side of the tire.
Do you have my tire on the van?
Ask when you call with your size. We tell you if we have it with us or can get it.
When does a tire need replacing?
When the tread is worn to about 2/32 of an inch, or the tire has a bulge, a cut in the sidewall or a hole that can't be repaired.
The penny test: put a penny in the tread with Lincoln's head down. If you can see all of his head, the tread is worn out. Most tires also have small raised bars across the grooves; when the tread is level with them, it's time.
Do I need to replace one tire or two?
One is often fine if the others have plenty of tread. With worn tires, or on many all-wheel-drive cars, a pair or all four is safer; your owner's manual says what your car needs.
Can I buy new tires on a Sunday?
Call (901) 623-7135 to check if we can come out that day. We tell you on the phone.
Questions people ask
How old is too old for a tire?
Check the DOT code on the sidewall: the last four digits are the week and year it was made (2319 means week 23 of 2019). Many tire and car makers advise replacing tires somewhere around 6 to 10 years old, even with tread left.
What brand of tire will I get?
Ask when you call. We tell you what we have in your size.
How much does a new tire cost?
It depends on the size and the tire, so we don't post prices online. The tech checks the tire and tells you the price before starting work.
Should the lug nuts be checked after a new tire?
Yes. It's good practice to have the lug nuts checked again after the first 50 to 100 miles.
