Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about tire fitment, warranties, maintenance, and lifespan. If you need additional assistance, our team is always here to help you choose the right tires for your vehicle.
Fitment is determined by matching the tire’s size designation with your wheel’s dimensions. As long as the tire’s rim diameter matches your wheel size exactly (e.g., an 18-inch tire requires an 18-inch wheel).
Mileage warranties depend entirely on the specific performance category of the tire model you choose. Standard all-season, touring, and highway tires generally include a manufacturer mileage warranty because they focus on longevity. Dedicated winter, high-performance, and maximum-traction off-road tires prioritize situational grip over lifespan and typically do not carry a mileage guarantee.
To maximize the lifespan and safety of any tire model in this series, routine maintenance is essential. We highly recommend checking your tire pressure monthly when cold, following the specifications on your vehicle’s driver-side door placard. Additionally, rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,000 miles to prevent uneven wear caused by steering forces and vehicle weight distribution.
Every tire features a standardized, federally mandated DOT (Department of Transportation) safety code stamped directly into its sidewall. The last four digits indicate the week and year of production (e.g., “1225” means the 12th week of 2025). Industry guidelines recommend replacing any tire once it reaches 6 to 10 years of age, as rubber naturally degrades over time regardless of tread wear.
