Tire Rotation
Proper tire rotation helps to extend the life of your tires. Consistent rotations allow tire experts to inspect the tires for adverse conditions that can negatively impact their lifespan. Catching these conditions early can minimize their damage to the tire.
Tire Repair
BRAKEmax associates follow the guidelines provided by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) for effective, safe tire repairs. These guidelines stipulate how tire seals and plug-fills must be done.
Tire Balancing
To extend the life of your tires, it’s important to have your tires balanced. Unbalanced wheels wear down your tires.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Also known as TPMS, this system measures the air pressure or rotational speed of your tires to determine whether they have the proper amount of air pressure. Since most tire failures occur due to underinflation, it is important to make sure this system is working properly.

Good group of guys there and was driven back to work after dropping it off

First time at this new location near Costco Marketplace, Tucson. I asked to expedite oil change service in order to accommodate another appointment within the hour. They did everything to get me in and out quickly. Thoroughly inspected vehicle and found several additional recommended services from which we prioritized service and follow-up. I did not feel pressured and felt there was a strong customer care ethic in place. Clean and comfortable waiting room. I even think my car came back to me cleaner than when I left it. Very satisfied with service and would return and recommend to others.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tire rotation is important and should be done according to the tire manufacturer’s recommendation. Rotating your tires has a number of benefits, including:
- Extending the life of your tires: The position of each tire on your vehicle causes each tire to wear differently. You can change the pattern of wear by moving tires to new positions, and getting more miles out of them. If your vehicle has rear-wheel drive, your rear and front tires should change places and also change to the other side of the car. Front-wheel drive vehicles should have the front set of tires moved to the rear and rear tires to the front. Your Tucson auto mechanic can recommend the tire rotation pattern that’s best for your car.
- Improving handling and ride: Uneven tread wear can cause all types of problems, from pulling the car to one side to excessive vibration from having the tires become unbalanced. Proper tire rotation can help prevent these and other types of performance and safety problems.
There are a few notable exceptions to the tire rotation rules. Truck tires, for instance, may be different on the front and the rear, so rotation may not be practical. There are also some types of vehicles with directional tires, which can be rotated but must be rotated in a specific way. Our expert tire technicians can help you determine when and how your specific tires should be rotated.
We offer major brands such as Goodyear, Kelly, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Firestone, Falken, and Yokohama. We also work closely with our industry partners to provide low-cost managers’ specials in each BRAKEmax store.
Our expert tire associates can help you find the right tires at the right price. We not only have the best tire prices—we also have regular specials on our tire coupons page. We’ll let you know about available mail-in rebates from tire manufacturers and how you can save by financing with your Goodyear credit card or CFNA credit card. At BRAKEmax, our low-price promise means we’ll match lower, locally advertised prices from other shops, so be sure to bring those ads in when you come shop for new tires.
The life of your new tires depends on several variable factors, so a precise number of miles can’t be predicted. These factors include:
- Driving habits: If you commute in stop-and-go traffic, brake or accelerate aggressively, or drive long distances in extreme temperatures, you can put extra wear and tear on your tires.
- Tire pressure: Maintaining the inflation pressure recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer is one of the best ways to extend the life of your tires. Check the label inside your driver’s side door for specific PSI numbers for your car.
- Tire rotation: You can significantly extend the life of your tires by having them rotated regularly. This breaks up tire wear cycles and prevents uneven wear. Front- and rear-wheel drive vehicles have differing optimal rotation patterns, so your BRAKEmax tire technician will recommend the one that’s right for you.
- Wheel alignment: Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear. Even if your car isn’t pulling to one side, poor handling when cornering or braking may be a sign that you need wheel alignment service.
There are two quick ways to get an indication of whether it’s time to replace your tires:
- Wear bars: Tread wear indicators, also known as wear bars, are strips of rubber in tire tread grooves that become easily visible when your tire wears down to the level of the bars.
- The penny test: Place a penny in the tread groove with Lincoln’s head down. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s time to get new tires.
You can also inspect your tires to look for signs of wear or damage, such as:
- Blisters, bulges, or other weak spots
- Objects embedded in the tires
- Cracks in tire sidewalls

Tire balancing is important for optimal performance on the road. Also known as wheel balancing, this service can help prevent uneven tire wear and vibrations in your vehicle’s steering wheel and passenger compartment. Anytime you have a flat tire repaired or have your tires rotated, it’s a good practice to also have your tires balanced.
Even if you’re fortunate enough to never need to put mileage on your spare tire, it still needs replacement after about 10 years. You should follow the replacement recommendations of your vehicle’s manufacturer if it offers specifications. You can check to see when a spare tire was made by looking for the date on the tire’s sidewall. The last two numbers indicate the year the tire was made.
The same type of tire should be used in each position for optimal driving performance and for the life of your tires. There are some exceptions, such as vehicles that deliberately have different sizes of tires on the rear and the front. Generally, all four tires should be all radial or all bias-ply, be the same size, have the same speed ratings, and have the same tread patterns. Your local BRAKEmax tire technician will be able to recommend the replacement tires that are best for your vehicle.
Tire markings aren’t as confusing as they first appear! Our article on How to Read Your Tire explains all of the indicators for tire size, load rating, speed rating, and maximum inflation pressure. It’s important to note that you should refer to the label inside the driver’s door for the tire pressure that’s recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer rather than the maximum inflation pressure number that’s on your tires.
