When you search for tires near me, the results you obtain are only the first step. You have to evaluate shops you fond to decide which shop will provide you with the best value.  Depending on your priorities, here is a list of a few things to consider when dealing with a tire shop “near me”: Does it have a wide selection of new tires? Do tire store employees take the time to find out what you need, where you drive your vehicle, and how aggressively you drive your car? Can employees explain benefits and drawback of various tire choices and can they advise which tires would be optimal given your driving style and type of driving – commute, long highway drives, off road, etc.  Can the shop provide not only tire mounting and balancing, but also wheel alignment – all during a single visit? What warranty/tire repairs does the shop offer? This last step requires an on-site visit - Is the shop clean and do you feel comfortable on the premises? Next time ... read more

Tire Tread Depth At Adams Tireworx in Castro Valley, we often get asked about tire tread depth. It’s actually fairly easy to measure it yourself.  Tire tread depth is measured in 32nds of an inch. The typical new tire has a tread depth of 10/32nd or 11/32nd of an inch (winter tires and light truck tires are typically deeper).   As the tire wears down, the tread depth diminishes. At 2/32nd tread depth, a tire is considered legally worn out in most US states.  At our Castro Valley tire shop we use a special tool to measure tire depth. But at home, there is an easy way to tell - take a penny, and stick it, Lincoln’s head down, in the groove of the tire. If you can see Lincoln’s entire head – the tire is worn down to 2/32nd of an inch. It is time to drive to your trusted tire store and get it replaced.  Naturally, we suggest you visit Adams Tireworx – we are a full-service tire store and have the best tire selecti ... read more
