Our Tire Experts Help You Find the Right Fit for Your Vehicle

Not every tire works for every vehicle or driving style. The team at Bates Street Tire & Automotive takes time to understand each customer's needs, whether that means better traction in winter weather, a quieter highway ride, or extra durability for work trucks. This personal approach helps customers avoid overspending on features they don't need.

Customers who purchase four new tires also receive a free wheel alignment, helping protect their investment and extend tire life.

Why It's Important to Hire a Professional for Tire Service

Improperly mounted or balanced tires can wear unevenly, reduce fuel efficiency, and even affect handling and safety. A professional tire installation ensures tires are seated correctly, torqued to spec, and balanced to prevent vibration. Skipping this step to save money often leads to more expensive problems later.
