Like we said, tires are a big investment, so you want to get a good value on tires. Now that doesn't always mean the cheapest tire.

Tires sold in Commerce bargain tire shops may not live up to that promise. Again, your friendly and knowledgeable Commerce Auto Repair tire professional can give you options that offer the best long-term value within your immediate budget.

Last, with a 2-wheel drive vehicle, it's to always replace both tires on an axle. Modern sensors and computer safety systems for vehicle brakes, stability and traction control need both tires to have the same amount of wear to work properly.
