Our knowledgeable staff is also happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
Are all tires the same?
No, not all tires are the same. There are a variety of tires for every type of driver, depending on factors like wet or dry traction, high mileage, high speed control, steering response, ride comfort or all of the above. We'll help you find a set of tires that works for you and your vehicle.
What should I look for in a tire?
By talking to us about your needs as a driver, you can help us choose the best set of tires for your vehicle and your budget. We'll ask questions about your expectations of the tires, the type of driving you do and how long you plan on keeping your vehicle.
How can I tell when it’s time to replace my tires?
An excellent way to determine if your tires need to be replaced is by performing the penny test. If you place a penny in the tread of your tires with Lincoln's head upside down, the top of his head should disappear. If you can see his entire head, this means your tires are too worn down and it's time for new ones.
Do I really need to rotate my tires?
Yes. Rotating your tires keeps them from wearing down unevenly. We'll help you keep your tires rotated and evenly worn.
Why should I buy my tires from a dealership?
We know exactly what kind of tires will work for your Hyundai, so you can trust us to make the right choice for your vehicle.
