Why Good Tires Matter
Tires are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road, making them critical for ensuring a safe driving experience. They significantly affect your vehicle's handling, braking, and overall performance. Worn-out or improperly maintained tires can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and, more importantly, dangerous driving situations.
When to Replace Your Tires
Tread Depth
Use the penny test. If you can see all of Lincoln's head when a penny is inserted into the tread, it’s time for new tires.
Visible Damage
Look for cracks, cuts, or blisters. Any visible damage compromises tire safety.
Uneven Wear
Check for uneven wear patterns, which can indicate misalignment or suspension issues.
Frequent Air Loss
Regular air loss may suggest damage or wear, signaling a need for replacement.
Vibration or Noise
Unusual vibrations or sounds while driving may indicate tire problems. If these symptoms persist, have your tires inspected.

Maintenance Services
At Equipfix, we believe that proactive maintenance is key to extending the life of your tires. That’s why we offer a range of tire maintenance services, including:
Tire Rotation: Regular tire rotation helps ensure even tread wear, extending the life of your tires and improving fuel efficiency. We recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving conditions.
Tire Balancing: Balancing your tires at installation and during routine maintenance ensures a smooth ride and helps prevent uneven wear and vibrations.
Tire Alignment: Proper alignment is essential for maintaining straight and stable handling. Misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear and compromised performance. Our technicians will assess your alignment and make necessary adjustments.
The Importance of Seasonal Tire Changes
Seasonal tire changes are vital for maintaining optimal vehicle performance and safety, as different tires are designed for specific weather conditions. Winter tires provide enhanced grip and traction in cold temperatures, snow, and ice, greatly improving handling and braking, while all-season and summer tires offer reliable performance in moderate and warm weather, respectively. Switching to the appropriate tires each season helps extend their lifespan, prevents premature wear, and reduces accident risks, making this practice essential for effective vehicle maintenance.
Why You Should Get New Tires for the Winter
Equipping your vehicle with winter tires is essential for safe driving in cold, snowy, and icy conditions. Winter tires have specialized tread designs and softer rubber compounds that provide superior traction, minimizing the risk of slipping and enhancing vehicle control. They improve handling and braking in adverse weather, shorten stopping distances, and instill confidence while driving. Investing in quality winter tires not only safeguards you and your passengers but also decreases unnecessary wear on other tires, extending their lifespan during winter driving.
Tire Repair Services
Even with proper care, flat tires can happen. At Equipfix, we offer efficient tire repair services to get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible. Our team will thoroughly inspect your tire to determine whether it can be repaired or if a replacement is necessary. We use industry-standard techniques to ensure a reliable and safe repair.
Competitive Pricing
When it’s time to change the tires on your vehicle, you may worry about the final cost. At Equipfix, we understand that you have a budget you need to stick with, which is why we proudly offer a full line of competitively priced tires and rims. Not sure which tires are right for your vehicle? Be sure to let one of our mechanics know what you’re looking for to ensure we help you get the tires you want. We use a high-tech tire changer to ensure that your tires are replaced without causing damage to your rims, and we can program and replace your tire pressure sensors as needed.
FAQs
How often should I replace my tires?
Tires should typically be replaced every 6 years or when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch. Regular inspections can help determine when it's time for new tires.
What is the average lifespan of a tire?
Most tires last between 40,000 to 60,000 miles, but this can vary based on driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance practices.
How can I maintain my tires to extend their lifespan?
Regularly check tire pressure, keep your tires properly rotated, balance them as necessary, and ensure proper alignment to help extend tire life.
How do I find the right tire size for my vehicle?
Refer to your vehicle's owner manual or the sticker located on the driver’s side door jamb for the recommended tire size. You can also consult with our staff for assistance.
Can I mix different brands or types of tires on my vehicle?
It’s not recommended to mix different brands or types of tires, as this can lead to handling and safety issues. It's best to use matched tires for optimal performance.

"I have had nothing but fast, good, and fairly priced services at Equipfix. Most recently, I was able to have my car assessed 15 minutes prior to the shop closing for the day. A ball joint was required for my vehicle. The part was ordered and replaced later that same week when I was able to bring my car in without having to take time off work to do it. I asked if both ball joints needed to be replaced at the same time. I was told that the second one would need to be done eventually but I was not upsold on doing it immediately. The part used was of better quality than the original part that came with the car new. The cost was better than the local garages in my town, so it was worth the slightly further drive to Equipfix to get the repairs done."

"The water pump on my diesel pick-up started leaking 2 hours from home on the Friday of a long weekend. Another garage said they couldn’t help me and sent me here. They moved stuff around and got me fixed up right away and on the move again. Thanks to them, we were able to salvage the weekend. Can’t say enough good about them."
