Most people don’t think too much about the tires they put on the car, as long as the tire shop sells something comparable to what was on the vehicle before. But today’s tires have come a long way from the rubber and oil composition of yesterday. Technological advancements mean the tires that SJ Tire Company sells and installs include several specialized layers of materials. Each layer plays a critical role in how the tire functions and its longevity. That’s why it’s so important to find a tire shop near you that sells the kind of tires you need. When you need help with your tires, you can always count on our Englewood team to give you the service you need.

Because of their high-performance materials and construction, new tires purchased today are able to maintain good contact with the road in all weather and can even help improve a car’s performance and fuel efficiency. But that doesn’t mean any tire will do. Tires today are rated for different purposes, and choosing the right tire for the kind of driving you regularly do gives you the best results. For example, if you frequently tow a heavy weight, you’ll need a tire with a higher load range than someone who never tows anything with their car. If you do a lot of driving in heavy rain and snow, you’d want a tire with a higher traction grade, like snow tires.
