Tire Balancing
If you notice vibrations while driving, uneven tread wear, or changes in ride quality, your tires may need to be balanced. Proper tire balancing helps distribute weight evenly around the tire and wheel assembly, which can improve ride comfort, reduce vibration, and promote more even tire wear.
Tire Rotation
Regular tire rotations help promote more even tread wear and can help maximize tire life. Because tires can wear at different rates depending on their position on the vehicle, following the recommended rotation schedule can support consistent handling, traction, and performance.
Tire Inspection
A professional tire inspection can help identify potential safety concerns before they become larger problems. Our technicians can evaluate tread depth, tire pressure, tread wear patterns, visible damage, and overall tire condition to help determine whether your tires are safe and suitable for continued use.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) helps alert you when one or more tires may not have the proper air pressure. If your TPMS warning light comes on, our technicians can inspect the system and diagnose potential sensor or tire pressure issues.
Maintaining proper tire pressure helps support safe handling, tire life, fuel efficiency, and reliable vehicle performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tire & Wheel Services
How do I know when I need new tires?
Common signs that you may need new tires include low tread depth, uneven tread wear, visible cracks or damage, frequent loss of tire pressure, or tires that are approaching the end of their recommended service life. A professional tire inspection can help determine whether your tires should be replaced.
How often should I rotate my tires?
Tire rotation intervals vary by vehicle, tire type, drivetrain, and manufacturer recommendations. Many vehicles require tire rotations every several thousand miles. Check your owner’s manual or ask a Scotti Auto & Tire technician for the recommended rotation interval for your vehicle.
What does tire balancing do?
Tire balancing helps distribute the weight of the tire and wheel assembly evenly. Properly balanced tires can help reduce steering wheel or vehicle vibrations, improve ride comfort, and promote more even tire wear.
What is a wheel alignment?
A wheel alignment adjusts the angles of your vehicle’s wheels to the manufacturer’s recommended specifications. Proper alignment can improve handling, reduce uneven tire wear, and help your vehicle drive more smoothly and predictably.
How do I know if my vehicle needs a wheel alignment?
Signs of a potential alignment problem can include the vehicle pulling to one side, an off-center steering wheel, uneven or rapid tire wear, or changes in handling. A professional inspection can determine whether an alignment is needed.
What does the TPMS warning light mean?
The TPMS warning light typically indicates that one or more tires may have low air pressure or that there may be an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system. Check your tire pressure and have the system inspected if the warning light remains on.
