What to discuss with the shop
Tread wear, damage and tire age all matter. Use the vehicle placard and owner’s manual when discussing replacements.
Questions worth asking
- What is the installed total?
- Are balancing, valve service and disposal included?
- Will all tires match the vehicle’s requirements?
Service scope varies by vehicle and facility. Confirm the exact work and the written estimate before authorizing repairs.
