Healthy tires are critical for safety and performance. Signs it's time for new tires include visible tread wear, uneven wear patterns, cracks or bulges in the sidewall, and reduced traction in wet conditions. A simple penny test: insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head upside down-if you can see the top of his head, tread is too low.

Our Service Team can inspect your tires during routine maintenance and recommend replacements before they become unsafe. Proper tire rotation every 5,000-7,000 miles also extends tire life and improves handling.

Bring your Cadillac in for a free tire inspection, or call (779) 265-4427 to schedule service. We carry quality tires and can install them quickly.
