Frequently asked questions:

When do I need my tires replaced?

Tread depths of less than 3/32" or after 6 years since the tires first touch the pavement. Other reasons to replace are poor handling or traction on slippery or wet surfaces. If your tires look worn to you, you should stop by any of our tire stores in the Southeast Minnesota area and let us make sure you and your family are safe on the road. Shop for tires here .

Do winter tires really make a difference?

Winter tires are designed with special compounds and materials specifically for cold, wet, ice and snowy conditions. In flat-ice tests at 10 miles per hour, cars stopped an average of 23' shorter than all-season tires and 30 plus feet shorter than summer tires. A simpler way to answer the question would be this, you don't wear your summer shoes or sandals out in the cold snow, ice, or rain. Safety is the top concern. Shop for snow tires here .
