Answers To Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace my tires?

Tire replacement depends on tread wear, age, and overall condition. Most tires should be replaced every 6–10 years, even if they appear in good shape, as rubber degrades over time. Use the penny test to check tread depth—if the top of Lincoln’s head is visible, it’s time for new tires. Additionally, replace tires showing signs of damage, such as cracks, bulges, or significant punctures, or if they wear unevenly due to misalignment or improper inflation. Regular maintenance, like tire rotation every 5,000–8,000 km and keeping proper tire pressure, can extend their lifespan. If in doubt, visit SnappyTires for an expert evaluation.

What Type of Tires Do I Need?

The type of tire you need depends on your vehicle, driving conditions, and climate. All-season tires are great for mild climates, offering balanced performance year-round. Winter tires are essential for cold temperatures and snowy or icy roads. Summer tires provide excellent handling in warm weather but aren’t suitable for winter conditions. All-terrain or off-road tires are ideal for rough, unpaved roads, while performance tires are designed for sports cars and high-speed handling. At SnappyTires, our experts can help you select the best tire based on your specific needs.

Do you offer warranties on tire purchases?

Yes, at SnappyTires, we offer warranties on tire purchases to give you peace of mind. Our warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship, and some tire brands also offer road hazard protection, which can cover issues like punctures or sidewall damage under certain conditions. The specifics of the warranty may vary depending on the tire brand and type, so we encourage you to ask about the details when purchasing your tires. Our team is always happy to help explain your warranty options and ensure you're fully informed.

How can I tell if my tires need balancing?

You can tell if your tires need balancing if you experience vibration in the steering wheel or seat, especially at higher speeds, or if your vehicle pulls to one side. Uneven tire wear and unusual noises, like thumping, are also signs that your tires may be out of balance. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to have your tires balanced at SnappyTires to ensure smooth, safe driving and prevent further damage to your tires and suspension.

How often do I need an oil change?

The frequency of oil changes depends on your vehicle’s make and model, as well as the type of oil you use. Generally, it’s recommended to change your oil every 5,000 to 7,500 km (3,000 to 5,000 miles) if you’re using conventional oil, and up to 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for synthetic oil. However, always refer to your vehicle's owner manual for specific guidelines. Factors such as driving conditions (e.g., frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or heavy towing) may require more frequent oil changes. Regular oil changes help maintain engine performance and longevity.
