How Do I Know S&S Tire Won’t Upsell Me Services I Don’t Need?
Our staff doesn’t work on commission.
Before any recommendation, we show you your tire condition — tread depth, wear patterns, damage — and explain what needs attention now versus what can wait. You get written recommendations with photos, options at multiple price points, and clear urgency levels: safety issue today or plan for next season.
When a Lexington mom asks if her tires will make it through winter, we tell her the truth – even if that truth is “you’re fine for now.” We’ve built 50 years of reputation by earning long-term customers, not maximizing single transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace all four tires or just two?
Depends on your vehicle and wear. Front/rear-wheel drive with even wear often allows two-tire replacement. All-wheel drive (common in SUVs) needs four to avoid drivetrain damage. We’ll measure tread and give honest assessment based on your specific vehicle.
How do I know when tires are worn out?
Three signs: (1) Tread below 4/32″ (penny test—insert Lincoln’s head upside down; if you see his full head, time to replace), (2) uneven wear suggesting alignment issues, (3) visible cracks, bulges, or sidewall punctures. Free tread check at any location, no appointment, 5 minutes.
What's your "Ride and Drive Guarantee"?
Not satisfied in first 30 days? We’ll adjust pressure, check alignment, or help exchange for different model. We want you confident, not stuck with tires that don’t meet expectations.
Can I schedule online?
Yes. Use our “Schedule Service” tool or call any location. Early morning (7–9 AM) or Saturday slots work best for families.
What if I can't afford the full set now?
Financing through Bridgestone, Firestone’s CFNA, all major cards accepted. We’ll check manufacturer rebates (often $70–$100 savings). If budget’s tight, we’re upfront whether current tires are a safety issue today or something you can plan for.
You’re looking for straight answers, fair pricing, and quality work you can count on.
