You obviously know that tires are an essential part of a vehicle, but not many people consider just how imperative they are to its health and longevity. Your tires play a major role in keeping you safe and comfortable on the road, and they require regular attention and maintenance to ensure a safe, controlled, and smooth ride every time you hit the road.

A Wide Selection of Top-Brand Tires

Buick and GMC are both legendary automakers, so there are scores of top brands whose tires are specifically suited for these models. Choosing the right tires for your vehicle is important, as they will make all the difference in your driving experience. That's why we're proud to offer a wide variety of OEM-recommended and name-brand tires at LaFontaine Buick GMC Highland.

They complement your unique driving preferences and environment, so wherever the road takes you, you'll get there with ease.

There are tires for that, too—all-terrain and mud tires. And we have all of them available for you. Every Buick and GMC model has certain tire types that are recommended for elevating every drive and maximizing your experience on the road. 

Whether you're driving a high-performance car, off-road truck, or family-friendly SUV, you'll find your ideal tires when you shop our extensive tire selection. From all-season tires, all-terrain tires, summer tires, winter tires, snow tires, mud tires, performance tires, and even tires rated for heavy-duty and commercial loads, we're your one-stop, go-to tire source for all Buick and GMC models.

Tire Installation & Balancing 

Finding the right tires is just the first step in the process. It's equally important to have them installed and balanced correctly by a team of highly trained experts who know exactly what they're doing, such as our incredible certified technicians at our tire shop. We are here to perform your tire installation and balancing services to ensure they're done right. 

We have all the top-tier tire brands specifically made for Buick and GMC models, and we'll make the installation process quick and easy, so you can get back on the road and back to your life in no time. This includes removing the old tires, mounting the new ones onto your vehicle's wheels, inflating them, and adding small weights to balance them.

Our experts use a computer-controlled spinning machine so they can pinpoint imbalances and apply these small weights accordingly. Computerized tire balancing is a crucial part of the process, ensuring even weight distribution across the wheel assembly to help prevent vibrations, uneven tire wear, and steering issues so that you can enjoy a smooth and safe ride, extended tire life, and better vehicle control. With our professional mounting and computerized balancing, you can be sure your tires are installed precisely to deliver the ride quality you deserve, regardless of your daily driving habits.

We also offer servicing and resets for tire pressure monitoring systems. Located in each wheel, this system helps you know when your tires need attention. When it isn't working properly, you run the risk of ruining your tires or having them become unsafe. We make sure that doesn't happen and that your systems are in working order so you can stay safe and secure on the road.

Routine Wheel Alignment Services 

Wheel alignment is a critical component for the safety and performance of your vehicle. Your vehicle's tires and suspension system work in tandem to ensure a secure, controlled, and stable ride, so proper wheel alignment helps your vehicle handle correctly and operate safely. 

The wheel alignment process involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so they are correctly aligned with each other and the road surface. This improves fuel efficiency, ensures your vehicle remains stable at high speeds, and keeps your tires doing their job the way they're meant to. When wheels aren't properly aligned, it causes unnecessary wear and tear because they have to work harder to grip the road and maintain traction. You don't want that.

Alignments play a fundamental role in keeping your vehicle running smoothly and safely, and our expert technicians will perform alignment inspects and precision adjustments. This tire service task is not a superfluous maintenance item; it's a crucial investment in your vehicle's longevity and performance.

Tire Repair & Ongoing Maintenance 

Nobody ever expects something bad to happen to their tires, but sometimes you're going about your business and suddenly there's a giant pothole or a lost nail in the road, ready to perfectly puncture your tire and ruin your day. At LaFontaine Buick GMC Highland, our certified service experts are here to take care of all your tire repair needs. 

From tire patches to puncture repairs, we'll have your tires back to normal in no time—healed over and reinflated like new. We make every tire repair quick and easy so you can get back on the road. When you need an unexpected tire repair, our team is here to help. 

We also perform tread inspections and tire rotations to keep your tires working the way they're supposed to. Through our tread inspections, we can alert you when it's time to replace your current tires with fresh ones. You may be wondering why your vehicle isn't running as well as usual, and a low tread could very well be the culprit. We'll step in and tell you exactly what you need before it becomes a larger problem. 

Rotations are also imperative for the health of your tires. They help preserve your tires' longevity so you can drive with confidence. Regularly rotating your tires ensures they all wear at the same rate, which helps you get more miles out of them. It should be a part of your routine maintenance, and our experts will get it done quickly so you can extend your tires' lifespan and enjoy even more time on the road.

Tire Performance & Safety Inspections

Regular inspections of your tires ensure optimal performance and safety by checking for things like proper air pressure, tread depth, and sidewall and structural damage. 

Our tire safety inspections include measuring tread depth, which is critical for dispersing water and providing grip. A penny test ensures traction to prevent hydroplaning, and regular inspection of wear patterns detects alignment issues, improper inflation, and suspension problems, which directly impact handling, braking, and safety. 

Irregular wear patterns often indicate mechanical issues, and it's important to stay on top of tire safety inspections to ensure there aren't major problems bubbling under the surface. Having your tires checked regularly is critical for identifying sidewall damage, cracks, bulges, and tread issues that threaten your vehicle's structural integrity and performance—and that is where we come in. Our experts will perform regular tire inspections to ensure you feel safe and secure on every drive.
