The Best Tire Shop in Tucson
Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car. They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don't have a good grip on the pavement.
As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Car owners still need to replace their tires a few times or more throughout the life of a typical vehicle. Despite advances in longer-lasting tires, actual tread life will vary by car type, tire type (such as all season or high performance), driving aggressiveness, and even road and weather conditions. Proper maintenance and responsible driving can maximize the mileage in a set of tires.

We offer these services to help you prolong the life of your tires.
Alignments
Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit X-Pert Automotive.
Balancing
If you feel excessive vibration in the car, or wobbling of the steering wheel, your tires may be unbalanced. X-Pert Automotive has the professional equipment and technicians to measure the balance of your vehicle's tires and make necessary corrections. Call us at 520-818-1780 if you have questions, or contact us so we can evaluate your tires.
Tire Inspection
It is recommended that tires, including the spare, be periodically inspected by a tire service professional during routine maintenance intervals such as oil changes and tire rotations. We will inspect the tire tread and sidewalls for irregular tread wear, cracking, scrapes, bulges, cuts, snags, foreign objects or other damage resulting from use. We will remove any stones, glass, foreign objects, etc. embedded in the tread to prevent further damage. Even minor damage can lead to further injury and eventual tire failure. Tires with excessive cracking on the tread or sidewall(s) should be removed from service. This is typically caused by under inflation, over loading, improper storage, and/or improper long-term parking.
Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is the practice of moving the wheels and tires of an automobile from one position to another, to ensure even tire wear, which extends the useful life of a set of tires. Rotation is important because each tire on a car carries a different amount of weight, making them wear at different rates. By rotating them, you basically even out those differences. Your owner's manual will tell you how often to rotate your tires, but as a rule of thumb, it should be done every 5,000 to 8,000 miles.
Once a need for new tires is determined, it is necessary to identify the best tires for your vehicle and driving demands. Look for tires that do well in tests for braking, handling, and resistance to hydroplaning. Winter traction should also be considered, if applicable. Let tread wear, ride comfort, noise, and rolling resistance be tiebreakers. Trust the tire experts at X-Pert Automotive to help you choose the right tires for your vehicle.
We offer most major brands of tires. These are a few of our preferred brands.

Brakes, near Tucson, Arizona
Excellent service. My first time. I will return. -
Lanny Larson, 08/25/2023Brakes, near Tucson, Arizona
Had my 2002 Thunderbird here for a complete A/C replacement. The time it took to complete the job was just one day longer than first scheduled. However, it was not their fault. The replacement parts were defective, because they did not preform to the standards they required. Even so, it was only one day longer than first planned. Joe was very professional and apologized several times for the delay. I highly recommend this X-Pert Automotive store.

I brought my Miata in for an AC charge. They were prompt and kept me up to date with the service. I decided to have X-Pert do my maintenance instead of going back to the dealer for this service as I have always done. -
Heather Wolf, 07/20/2023AC Repair, near Catalina, Arizona
Thank you so much to the staff at X-Pert Automotive. My battery died and I was able to jump start it but didn't have a lot of charge to make it to the dealer where I normally have my car serviced. I contacted X-Pert Automotive and they told me they would work me in during appointments. I was able to make it to the shop and waited just over an hour to get the battery replaced. Everyone I spoke with was courteous and professional and I plan to come back now that I've found them!

This was our first time to X-Pert Automotive. I was extremely satisfied with the service I received from everyone that works here. They are all very professional. They kept me posted on what repairs were needed, how long it would take and the cost. And I can now say Goodbye to all the rattling in the back of my car. Plus, their waiting room is clean and comfortable. We will definitely be going back for all our automotive needs. -
