Frequently Asked Questions

Click on a question below for more information.


What forms of payment do you take?

We accept many forms of payment which include: cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover/Novus, and American Express.

How often should I rotate my tires?

This can vary with every vehicle. But, a general rule is about every 5,000 miles. You can sometimes go longer with rotating your tires and sometimes it needs to be done more often. If you notice any irregular wear, such as “cupping,” you may want to come in and have us check for you.

How often do I need an alignment?

You should have your alignment checked periodically, as road conditions such as pot holes, curbs, and other bumps can cause it come out of alignment. Irregular tire wear can be a good indicator that your vehicle is out of alignment.

Do I need an appointment for tire installation?

No, we operate on a “first come, first serve” basis for tire installation. For alignments, brakes, shocks/struts and larger vehicles(motor homes, trailers, etc.), we prefer to schedule appointments. To make an appointment for an alignment feel free to call our service center. (626) 331-0663

Do you do oil changes?

Unfortunately we do not offer oil changes. Our services include: tires, brakes, alignments and shock installation. To schedule an appointment for alignment, brake or shock/strut service please call our service center. (626) 331-0663

If I only need two new tires, do I put them on the front or the rear of the vehicle?

Contrary to past beliefs, new tires should be put on the rear of the vehicle. For many years, new tires were thought to be safer on the front of the vehicle. But, more recent tests and studies now recommend putting new tires on the rear of the vehicle in most cases. Manufacturers such as Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone and Cooper recommend this for safety concerns. With the new tires on the rear of the vehicle, traction in wet conditions is increased and the possibility of accidentally entering an uncontrolled slide, or “fishtail,” is reduced.

My tires are showing unusual wear. What’s wrong with them?

Several things can lead to unusual tire wear. If just the outside or just the inside is showing excessive wear then you may need an alignment. If the outside and the inside of your tire is showing excess wear, then your tires may be under-inflated. If just the center of your tires are showing excessive wear, then your tires may be over-inflated.

My car is pulling to the left or the right. What’s wrong?

If your vehicle is pulling to one side, it is usually a sign that you need a front end alignment. Give us a call to set up an appointment. (626) 331-0663. Another reason that your vehicle could be pulling is there could be an issue with your tires, such as low air pressure. Feel free to come by and we’d be happy to check your tires for you.

My tire sensor light is on or flashing.

If your tire sensor light is on or flashing your tires might be low on air or there could be problem with the sensor its self. A good place to start would be to check your air pressure against the manufacturer recommendation. This can be found on a sticker on the inside of the driver’s side door or sometimes on a sticker next to your gas cap. If your air pressure matches the manufacturer recommendation come to our service center and we would be glad to investigate further for you.

Can I change the tire speed rating when i buy new tires?

This can vary with every vehicle. If you lease a vehicle you will want to stay with the original equipment tire ratings so you don’t get penalized when you turn in your vehicle at the end of the lease. In other situations it is possible to increase the rating if you desire. If you want to lower the speed rating of your tires come in or give us a call so we can explain the pros and cons of this for your specific situation. In many cases it is possible to install a tire with a lower speed rated tire without effecting the ride or handling of your vehicle. But it also important to remember, as a safety precaution, you want to keep the speed rating of all 4 tires matching.

Do you sell used tires?

Yes, we do sell used tires at our service center.  We are limited in what sizes we stock so feel free to call our service center and see if they have your size in stock.  (626) 331-0663.  An important note to remember about used tires is that the manufacturer’s warranty is no longer applicable in most cases.

    •   Professional and courteous service.  You can call in and order the tires first and then come in for installation. It only takes 20 minutes or so to install once they get to your vehicle. Will come back again.

    •   I took my car to another (unmentionable) tire place after running over what could only be described as a industrial size staple. The other place told me it was "unfixable" due to the holes being close together. We were referred here and told "if they say it's 'unfixable' then it is." I was in and out in about 30 minutes, did I mention at the "unfixable" place I wasted errr... waited for 2 hours. So happy. Definitely recommend!!!!

    •   This place came recommended by 2 other people I know and so like yourself, thought I'd give them a shot. First, I called yesterday and Scott gave me a great no haggle price for 4  tires + install. 225/55/17. I couldn't pass up his quote on the Goodyear's he offered.
      Already sold on the deal, I arrived to receive fine treatment, prompt service and found myself back on the road in less than 30 minutes! Impressive...
      Also, I don't feel like I got any special treatment. I think this may just be how their philosophy on doing business is.

    •   Bought a set of tires for my Camaro here. Emailed several places about pricing and they got back to me quickly and with precise pricing information. Got there early (they don't do appointments) and there were a few cars ahead of me. Staff was super friendly and answered all my questions. The entire process took less than an hour. Highly recommend this place and will come back here when I need tires again.

    •   This place was absolutely amazing! I was so frustrated when I got there. I had been to 4 different places, and not one of them had the correct parts to change my tires! Immediately when I pulled up I was helped, everyone was so nice. They didn't look at me like I didn't know anything about my car because I was a woman. They gave me every option possible for repairing/replacing my tires, they did not just tell me what they were going to do, they let me decide. They were pretty busy and they got me in and out in less than an hour! I will be back any time I have tire problems! I definitely recommend this place, they were very friendly, caring, honest and fast! Such great customer service, as well as great work done on my car!

    •   These people do tires. Friendly, fast service and affordable prices leave me no other choice but to return the next time shtf. The waiting room was comfortable and inviting with a TV, plenty of reading material and a tin of crayons with coloring books, too! I had 4 tires replaced and was out of there in roughly 30 minutes.

    •   I have been going to Tucker Tire for over 45 years now. They had the best prices when I was a teenager and they still have the best prices in most cases now even though they have to compete with all of the online options now. The staff in the office has always been great, giving me the best prices they could and suggesting similar tires that would cost less. I have watched Dave and Frank take care of balancing and putting on my tires forever and they always do a great job. I now live 35 miles away but feel such a loyalty to them for all of the great deals they have given me in the past. While there can be a bit of await if you get there during their busy time, I have never minded that because you can see how hard they are all working to get you out as fast as they can. To me they are just the best place you can buy your tires at.
