Why Tire Safety Matters

Did you know that worn or underinflated tires pose severe risks to your safety? When treads wear down over time, tires lose their ability to grip the road surface, especially in wet or slippery conditions. This reduces how quickly you can stop in an emergency.

Underinflated tires are also more likely to overheat and blow out, significantly increasing the chances of rollovers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, tires contribute to thousands of accidents. Based on their yearly estimates, there are nearly 11,000 tire-related crashes, and almost 200 people will die in those crashes.

Texas Weather Extremes

Here in Texas, we also face weather extremes like torrential rains, hail storms, and scorching summer heat that can rapidly break down tire rubber over time. Staying on top of regular tire maintenance is especially important to handle our climate.

Remember, your tires are just as crucial for safe driving as regular vehicle checks like fluid levels and brake inspections. Never let worn tires put you or your passengers at risk-it's not worth skimping on this critical component of your car.

Tire Brands

At Phil's Service, we carry all the top tire brands to suit any budget or vehicle type. Our Michelin, Goodyear, and other top brands back their products with excellent mileage warranties. This gives you complete peace of mind for the life of the tires.

How Often Should You Buy New Tires?

Most tire manufacturers recommend replacing tires no later than six years after production, even if the tread depth appears adequate. This is because the rubber compounds break down over time due to heat and UV light exposure.

As a general guideline, we advise our customers to:

• Check tread wear - replace tires if the tread depth is 2/32" or less. At this point, tire grip and performance decrease significantly.
• Inspect every 5,000-6,000 miles - inspect tires annually or every 5,000-6,000 miles for uneven wear that indicates potential alignment or balance issues.
• Rotate to promote even tread wear - rotate tires every 5,000-7,500 miles to promote even tread wear from different loading and weather conditions.
• Look for potential problems - if tires show bulges, cuts, cracks, or other issues, replace them immediately for safety.
• Commercial vehicles - commercial vehicles like trucks see heavier use, so tires may need replacing sooner based on a 4/32" tread depth.
• Sports cars - performance tires for sports cars have more aggressive tread compounds that might only last 25,000-35,000 miles before replacement.

Our expert tire technicians will assess your tires and advise you on the right time for replacement or rotation based on your driving habits and conditions.

Types of Tires Available

We carry a wide range of tires for all types of vehicles.

All-Season Tires

All-season tires are a great general-purpose option. They are made of versatile rubber compounds and perform well year-round in wet and dry conditions. Look for tire tread designs with wider grooves for water evacuation.

Summer Tires

Summer tires, sometimes called high-performance tires, feature softer rubber that grips aggressively on dry roads for maximum performance during warmer months. While they excel in heat, summer tires aren't designed for cooler conditions when softer rubber stiffens.

All-Terrain Tires

All-terrains boast extra-deep tread ideal for light off-road use while smoothing out on-road performance. They hold up well on unpaved trails and gravel yet deliver confident traction on paved surfaces. They're just right for occasional recreational drives off the beaten path.

Winter Tires

Specially formulated tread and shoulder compounds stay malleable in colder temperatures for outstanding winter traction. Broader lug patterns evacuate more slush for improved control of snow and ice. Switching to winter tires seasonally can maximize safety during slippery months.

Importance of Regular Tire Inspections

Our ASE-certified tire technicians recommend annual inspections. This allows us to check tread wear and pressure and look for developing issues before they become serious problems.

Tires only have a few thirty-second-of-an-inch wear indicators molded into the tread, so estimating wear accurately with the naked eye is almost impossible. We use precision laser gauges to check tread depth according to manufacturing specifications. We also perform other essential maintenance services like wheel balancing, rotations, and tire repairs.
