When Should You Change Your Tires?

When Should You Change Your Tires?

Count on Our Team!

If you happen to be wondering when you should change the tires of your RAV4 or Tacoma, our team is happy to clue you in! Once you’ve skimmed through the information and believe you may need new components, contact us at Capital Toyota for additional details, or visit us during our sales hours. We hope you’ll stop by soon.

Timeframe for New Tires

The great thing about tires is that when you buy a vehicle from our dealership, they are going to last you for several years. However, after some time, their tread and life does tend to decrease. It is typically suggested by the manufacturer to have brand-new ones installed after about six years. Luckily, you can do a penny test yourself to see the state that yours are currently in. Simply take a coin and put it head up into the tread, and if you’re able to see Lincoln’s face, you might want to stop by our service bay. Driving in harsh conditions, such as rain, snow, and ice decreases the tire pressure and tends to wear them down. This causes the rubber to crack and also dry out. If you put off getting a new set or having them rotated once it’s time, you’re not only decreasing the performance of your vehicle, but also adding danger to your own safety on the road. Visit us today!

Tire Department

When you’d like to start searching for new components, you can do so from home by browsing through our online Tire Department. Just select the corresponding link below the Service tab and then you’ll be able to search different brands and sizes. In this same spot, you can also read up on other services related to tires, such as rotations and wheel alignments. Of course, if you’d rather have one of our technicians install the ones that you purchase, just find a time to visit on our site via our Schedule Appointment tool. You’ll also be happy to hear that if you purchase components from us you are going to have 100 percent road hazard coverage for replacements within the first 24 months1. We’ll even price match your tires1 if you find the same ones at a different location.

Specials

To help you save and keep some cash right in your pocket, we invite you to take a look at our specials that we have happening. Underneath the Service tab, you are going to find a link that you can click that corresponds. Then, you can browse the discounts we’re offering at this time. You’ll see options such as saving if you purchase a tire bundle, or a dollar amount off on a fourth component if you buy three. As you keep scrolling down the screen, you’ll find additional specials on other services. Plus, while you’re here, you can enjoy our free Wi-Fi and coffee bar as we perform what needs to be done. We’ll even do a complimentary multi-point inspection to see that everything is functioning smoothly. And we can’t forget to note that we use genuine Toyota parts so we have what’s needed for your sedan or SUV.

So, when should you change your tires? We hope now you know! However, if you’d like to learn even more, reach out to our friendly team at Capital Toyota. We look forward to speaking with you!

I had a great car buying experience working with my sales advisor Will Winter and his team Curry Stone and Chris Morgan at Capital Toyota! He really took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect vehicle without any pressure. The whole process was stress - free, smooth and straightforward, and he made sure I got exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price. I truly appreciate the excellent customer service and would highly recommend working with Will and his team if you're in the market for a vehicle!

Great experience with Capital Toyota. I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon with 90,000 miles and I wouldn’t trust anyone except Toyota. I always discuss price with them to get an idea before taking in. They always work with me. Thanks to Jonah for the best customer service and texts to update me on the progress. Thanks to Rodney for the ride home and encouraging words. Great service and staff.

I took my car in today because one of my tires had lost a lot of air and was flat on the bottom. They said it was because of a nail. I bought that tire from them and so they replaced the tire on the cheap. That’s how I found out it’s covered for road hazards for two years. Thanks to Jonah, who took care of my problem.

We sincerely appreciated the zero pressure sales assistance of Jonathan Allers. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and, if he didn't know an answer, he didn't make one up. There was zero pressure to make this purchase, just 100% assistance the entire tme. Chandler, the finance guy, explained every detail and extended warranties that were available to our complete satisfaction. Our trade in went unexpectedly smooth! All they wanted to know was the vehicle type and mileage... sihht unseen. They gave us a fair deal on our trade, which of course offset the sales tax, too.

Jonathan was so helpful and professional!

We were searching for a Toyota Tundra for our son and found one we liked on cars.com. From the (short) time it took our salesperson, Brandon Dale, to reach out to us to when our son drove off in his truck, every person we encountered at Capital Toyota was professional, helpful, easy, and delightful to work with. The sales manager, Curry and finance managers Brandon and Chris could not have been more helpful in supporting our salesperson get a deal done. We live in Alabama, two and a half hours from Chattanooga, and Mr. Dale met us to deliver the truck in advance of inclement weather. The attention to customer service and satisfaction was evident from start to finish! It is obvious they are a family owned dealership as the care all team members we encountered showed was next level. We cannot recommend Capital Toyota more strongly.
