Tire maintenance is crucial for safety, fuel efficiency, and vehicle longevity-and we make it simple.

**Tire Rotation**
Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,500 miles to ensure even wear and extend tire life. Front tires wear faster due to steering, so rotation balances wear across all four.

**Inspections**
Our team checks tread depth, pressure, alignment, and condition. Good tread is essential for traction in wet and winter conditions. The penny test works: insert a penny into tread; if you see Lincoln's head, tread is too low-time for replacement.

**Replacement**
Tires typically last 3-5 years or 25,000-50,000 miles, depending on driving habits and road conditions. We'll let you know when replacement is due.

**Our Specials**
Barefoard offers **Tire Price Match Guarantee** and pairs tire rotation with oil changes for savings and convenience.
