TIRE SERVICES

Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car. They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like antilock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don’t have a good grip on the pavement. No matter what your tire needs may be – whether it be a set of brand new tires (at cost!), tire repair, tire rotation or balancing, or anything else to do with tires – we are here to help.

Driving on damaged or worn tires can be seriously damaging to your vehicle, with everything from the brakes to the wheels to the suspension. And that doesn’t even bring into consideration the safety of your vehicle, or lack thereof, when driving on damaged or worn tires.

It is easy to pick out when you have damaged tires – they will either be torn, flat, or have a leak in them somewhere. But worn tires are a little tougher to determine as a problem. Luckily, you can determine if your tire treads are too worn all by yourself. Grab a penny and place it between the treads of your tire. If you can, you’ve got a set of dangerously worn tires on your hands, and it is time for a new pair or foursome.

If it is time for new tires, we here at TranAuto Service in Minneapolis, MN are happy to work with you to find the right set of tires for your car – and your budget. We sell our tires at cost, so you know you’ll never pay too much, and our tire experts have hundreds of years of shared experience, so you know the job will be done right.

TranAuto Service drivers know that every year, it becomes time to swap to winter tires for six months or so – a price we pay to live in the natural beauty. But the days of clunky, awful winter tires are over. These days, we have high-tech winter tires with advanced polymer technology that look just as nice as summer tires. So while winter tires used to be an eyesore, now they are every bit as nice-looking as your standard tire.

As you probably know, during the winter, summer tires, especially in cold climates, can become very hard and inflexible. This affects the tire’s ability to grip the road and stop effectively. Conversely, winter tires are made with special materials, which stay pliant even as temperatures drop to the sub-zero range. Even without snow on the ground, these tires give you better overall traction in the cold weather, and most drivers can feel the difference immediately.

If it has to do with your car’s tires, the experts at TranAuto Service in Minneapolis, MN can help. We sell brand new tires at cost, we can repair most tires that don’t have sidewall damage, and we are your twice-a-year experts for swapping your winter and summer tires. When you think tires, think TranAuto Service.
