Buying tires in Austin is a big deal, so consult with a tire professional at Friendly Car Care about proper size, type and grade for your local Austin, TX, driving needs.
We can help you balance load requirements, fuel economy, performance, durability and cost.
When buying new tires, it's best to replace both tires on the same axle in order to keep the rolling diameter as close as possible.
If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, you should replace all four tires at the same time because you can run into problems if the tires have different rolling diameters due to wear or different type of tire. Four-wheel-drive vehicles should have all tires very close to the same rolling diameter to avoid binding and wheel hop between the front and rear axles.
Also, tire manufacturers recommend that if you are buying just two new tires that they be installed on the rear for safer slippery road traction, regardless of which wheels drive the vehicle.
Give us a call before you make your next tire purchase; we're here to help.
