Common questions
Can my flat be repaired?
Maybe. Punctures in the tread area are often repairable. Sidewall damage, shoulder damage, run-flat damage, or worn tires usually mean replacement.
Are tire shops licensed in Texas?
Texas does not issue a general tire installer license. Scrap tire handling and disposal can be regulated by TCEQ, so disposal should be handled properly.
Why does my car shake after new tires?
It could be balance, wheel damage, tire defect, hub fit, suspension, or alignment. The shop should recheck balance and inspect the wheel and tire.
How old is too old for trailer tires?
Age matters even when tread looks fine. Boat and RV trailers sit, heat up, and carry load. Check date codes and sidewall cracking before highway trips.
Can you fix TPMS lights?
Yes. Sensors can fail, batteries age out, or relearn steps get missed after tire service. The shop scans each sensor.
Should I check tires before hurricane evacuation?
Yes. Check tread, pressure, spare, jack, lug key, and trailer tires before you are in evacuation traffic.
