New or used tires?

Your tires are the only surface touching the ground, and it is very important to have good tires to ensure a safe ride for you and your passengers. A properly aligned and balanced tire will provide a safe and enjoyable ride.

Customers who purchase used tires have to replace them once per year.  For a little extra, they can purchase new tires that will last them 3x the life of used tires.  With repeated installation and balancing, the overall cost of buying these used tires are usually more expensive.

Another disadvantage is that used tires lack the ability to properly grip the road.  Customers who install used tires are repeatedly disappointed because their vehicle pulls, vibrates, and provides an overall uncomfortable driving experience. 

Used tires are collected at dealers and local garages by scrap tire companies. If the scrap tire collector believes that the tires collected have enough thread to resell, they will.  Unaware that the tires could have one or more of the following problems:

• Improper wear due to alignment or inflation
• Shifted tire belt 
• Warped tires
• Slow leak from tire
• Sidewall damage 
• Low tire thread (inadequate for road conditions)

Level Auto does not take a chance by using used tires on customer vehicles. By using quality new tires, we can offer a long lasting tire and a safer drive.
