What Tire Type Is Right for Your Driving?
Tire category selection affects daily performance more significantly than brand choice. Understanding differences helps match tires to actual needs.
All-Season Tires provide balanced year-round performance for moderate climates.
Performance All-Season Tires enhance handling response, cornering grip, and wet-weather performance compared to standard all-season designs, while maintaining reasonable wear life.
Highway/Touring Tires emphasize ride comfort, low noise, and maximum tread life.
Light Truck and SUV Tires divide into subcategories based on usage:
- Highway-terrain (H/T) tires prioritize on-road comfort and fuel efficiency for SUVs and trucks rarely driven off-pavement
- All-terrain (A/T) tires provide moderate off-road capability with acceptable on-road manners
- Mud-terrain (M/T) tires maximize off-road traction for serious off-road use but compromise on-road comfort, noise, and fuel economy
Load Range and Ply Rating matter significantly for trucks regularly carrying heavy loads or towing boats, campers, or trailers.
What’s Included in Our Tire Installation Service?
Complete professional installation ensures new tires perform safely and last their full expected lifespan.
- Mounting and Balancing
- Valve Stem Replacement (optional)
- Tire Disposal
- Torque Specifications
How Should You Maintain Tires for Maximum Lifespan?
Proper tire maintenance extends tread life by 25-40% compared to neglected tires, saving hundreds of dollars while maintaining safety.
Monthly pressure checks prevent the most common cause of premature tire wear.
Tire rotation every 5,000-7,000 miles distributes wear evenly across all four tires.
Alignment checks should occur after tire installation (included free with tire purchase), when you notice pulling or uneven wear, after suspension work, when hitting significant potholes (common on Tennessee roads after winter), or annually as preventative maintenance.
Visual inspections during every service visit catch developing problems early.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do tire gift certificates work?
Gift certificates can be purchased at any of our three locations in any dollar amount. They’re valid for tires and tire-related services (installation, rotation, balancing, repair) at all Moore & Robinson locations. Gift certificates make excellent gifts for teen drivers getting their first vehicle, family members due for tire replacement, or employees. They never expire and can be combined with any current promotions or manufacturer rebates.
How long do tires typically last in Arkansas’s climate?
Most all-season tires deliver 50,000-70,000 miles with proper rotation and inflation maintenance. Arkansas’s hot summers accelerate rubber aging compared to cooler regions. Performance tires typically last 40,000-60,000 miles due to softer compounds. Light truck tires vary from 40,000 miles for aggressive off-road designs to 70,000+ miles for highway-oriented models. Regardless of tread depth remaining, tires over 6 years old should be inspected annually for age-related degradation – our heat and humidity accelerate this process.
Can you repair a tire with a nail or puncture?
We repair tires when punctures meet strict safety criteria: located in the tread area (not shoulder or sidewall), puncture diameter 1/4″ or smaller, no previous repairs in immediately adjacent areas, and tire overall condition is good. We use professional combination plug-patch repairs installed from inside the tire after thorough inspection. Sidewall punctures, large holes, multiple punctures, or damage from driving on a flat tire typically cannot be safely repaired and require replacement. Tire repair services are available at all three locations.
Do I need to replace all four tires at once?
All-wheel-drive vehicles typically require replacing all four tires simultaneously because tread depth differences cause driveline stress and expensive component damage. Front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles can often replace tires in pairs if tread depth difference between new and remaining tires is 3/32″ or less. We measure your existing tires precisely and advise whether pair replacement is safe for your vehicle.
Can I get tires installed at a different location than where I bought them?
Yes, your service records are unified across all three Moore & Robinson locations. If you purchase tires at our Fairway Ave location but prefer installation at Cantrell Road near your work, we can arrange that. This flexibility is one advantage of our multi-location service. Free lifetime rotation is also valid at any location – rotate wherever is most convenient for you.
Is road hazard warranty worth buying?
Road hazard protection typically costs 10-15% of tire purchase price and covers unrepairable punctures, impact damage from potholes, and sidewall cuts. Coverage makes financial sense for drivers frequently encountering rough roads, construction zones, or areas with road debris. Arkansas roads experience pothole damage especially after winter freeze-thaw cycles. If you rarely experience tire damage and purchased value-tier tires, you might choose to self-insure. We explain coverage terms clearly and let you decide based on your typical driving environment.
