Punctures in the tread area that are smaller than a quarter inch can usually be repaired. Sidewall damage, large gashes, or punctures near the edge of the tread typically require replacement.</p> <h3>How often should I rotate my tires?</h3> <p>Most manufacturers recommend tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Regular rotation promotes even wear and helps your tires last longer.</p> <h3>How do I know when my tires need to be replaced?</h3> <p>Check the tread depth — if the tread is at or below 2/32 of an inch, or level with the wear indicator bars molded into the tire, it is time for replacement. Also replace tires that have sidewall damage, bulging, or are more than six to ten years old regardless of tread depth.</p> <h3>Do you sell tires?</h3> <p>Yes. We can source tires in the correct size for your vehicle from a variety of brands and price points. Call us at 301-248-2800 or stop by for a quote.</p>
