Summer & Performance Tire Replacement & Mounting Service


Replacing Your Summer / Performance Tires: Replacing tires with summer or performance tires involves selecting the appropriate type for your driving needs, vehicle type and climate, having them professionally installed, ensuring proper sizing, alignment, and inflation, and then regularly maintaining them for optimal performance and safety.

Summer Tire Replacements (3 Season Tires)


Some refer to summer tire replacement as "all-season" tires, but our tire shop refers to them as "three-season" tires because they work well only in the spring, summer, and fall. In warmer weather, 3-season (summer) tires provide dependable braking in both wet and dry conditions, as well as a quiet, pleasant ride and good fuel economy. Summer tires often contain a tougher rubber compound, which loses grip at 7 degrees Celsius, to provide them a longer tread life. In the winter, the grooves in the tread pattern tend to clog with ice, snow and slush, resulting in a slick surface and lack performance during winter.

Our Summer Tire Replacement Service involves removing old tires that are designed for warm, dry conditions and installing new ones optimized for enhanced grip and handling in such environments. Our service includes balancing the new tires and checking alignment to ensure optimal performance, safety, and tire longevity.

Performance Tire Replacements (Low Profile)


Performance tire replacements will improve the handling and appearance of your vehicle. During the summer, the lower profile and firm sidewall give your car better traction, handling turns and high-speed stability. For drivers who prefer precise handling and ride comfort, performance tires for your car, truck or SUV are a wonderful option. They outperform 3 season tires in terms of braking and cornering, but they're not as rigid as ultra-high performance tires making for a more comfortable and fun drive.

Our Performance Tire Replacement Service involves removing worn tires and installing new high-performance tires designed for superior handling, grip, and stability. Our service includes balancing the new tires and checking alignment to ensure optimal driving dynamics and safety.
