All-Season
Most cars and SUVs around Sacramento
The default for this climate, and for good reason. We get hot dry summers, wet winters and almost no snow at valley elevation. A good all-season handles all of it.

Which tire is right for your car?
Most people arrive knowing roughly what they want to spend and very little else. That is what we are here for. Here is the shape of the choice.
All-Terrain
Trucks and SUVs that leave the pavement
More aggressive tread for dirt, gravel and mud. Noisier on the highway and shorter-lived than a highway tire, which is a fair trade if you actually go off-road.
Performance
Drivers who want sharper steering
Softer compounds and stiffer sidewalls. Noticeably better grip and response, at the cost of tread life and ride comfort.
EV-Specific
Teslas and other electric vehicles
EVs are heavier and deliver torque instantly, which chews through ordinary tires. EV-rated tires carry the load rating for it, and many are built to cut road noise in a cabin with no engine to mask it.
Touring
Commuters covering serious mileage
Built for tread life and a quiet ride. If you drive Highway 50 every day, this is usually the sensible money.
Light Truck
Towing, hauling and heavy loads
Higher load ratings and stiffer construction. If you tow, the load index matters more than the tread pattern.
Brands we fit
The major brands and the value ones, so there is a set for most budgets. Tell us what you drive and we will tell you which of these we can get for it.
Also Nankang and Achilles. Brand not listed? Call the shop and we will source it.
Where to find your tire size
It reads something like 225/65R17. Here is what each part means.
It is moulded into the sidewall of the tires already on the car, and printed on the placard inside the driver's door jamb.
- 225WidthThe tread width in millimetres, across the tire.
- 65Aspect ratioThe sidewall height as a percentage of the width. A lower number means a shorter, stiffer sidewall.
- RConstructionR is for radial, which is what essentially every modern car tire is.
- 17Wheel diameterThe size of the wheel it fits, in inches.
What you get when you buy tires here
Mounting and balancingTorqued to specification with a torque wrench, and the old tires taken away.
A straight answer on how manyIf two will do and your vehicle can take a mismatched pair safely, we will say so.
An alignment checkNew tires on a car that is out of alignment is money thrown away.
Free flat repairs afterOn tires we fitted, where the damage is in the repairable area.
And we are open seven days, including Sunday, when the other tire shops on Sunrise Blvd are shut. See the alignment and flat repair pages for how those work.
Already have a flat?
Do not drive on it further than you have to. Call us and we will tell you whether it is worth bringing in. A nail in the tread is usually a repair, not a new tire.
