Tires & alignment • Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Your tires do more than
just keep you moving

Tires affect how your vehicle steers, stops, handles, and grips the road. We keep them straight, balanced, and wearing evenly.

Your tires already know
what is wrong

Wear patterns are evidence. Walk out to your vehicle, run a hand across the tread, and find the row that matches. It will tell you what to expect before you ever call us.

What we do

South Dakota winters

Your tires lose air every time it gets colder.

Not from a leak. Cold air contracts, so pressure falls on its own as the temperature drops. A set that was set correctly on a mild October afternoon can be meaningfully low by the first hard freeze, and low tires wear their shoulders, steer poorly, and cost you fuel.

It is a five minute check and it is free when you are here for anything else. Ask us to look before winter sets in.

Questions
How often should I get an alignment?

There is no single mileage. Get one when the vehicle pulls, when the steering wheel sits off center, when you notice uneven tire wear, and any time you put new tires on. Sioux Falls potholes and curb strikes knock alignment out faster than mileage does.

How do I know if I need balancing or alignment?

A vibration you feel at highway speed is usually balance. A pull to one side, an off center wheel, or wear on one edge of the tread is usually alignment. If you are not sure, we will check both and tell you which one it is.

Can my tire be repaired or does it need replacing?

It depends where the damage is. A puncture in the tread area can usually be repaired properly from the inside. Damage to the sidewall or the shoulder cannot be repaired safely at any price. We will show you what we find.

Do you check tire pressure in the winter?

Yes, and it matters here. Cold air contracts, so pressure drops roughly one PSI for every ten degrees the temperature falls. A set that was correct in October can be noticeably low by January without a single leak.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. We schedule by appointment so nothing gets rushed. Call or text (605) 929-7027 and we will find you a time.
