New Tires, Same Ride, Whole New Vibe!

As the only part of your vehicle that touches the road, tires have a big job to do. They must properly grip the road for you to steer, brake, and accelerate safely. On top of that, they have to absorb impact from bumps and potholes. Consequently, they inevitably take a beating from all these and eventually wear down. 


When they do, Firebird Tire is always ready with a new set. We offer professional all-season tire installation services in Phoenix, AZ that get you back to rolling on the road quicker than you can say, tire-rific!

Understanding Tire Installation in Phoenix, AZ: What to Expect During the Service

When you visit Firebird Tire}, they'll perform the following services for tire installation:


Tire Selection

Your vehicle needs the right tires for your journeys. That is why tire technicians at Firebird Tire pay extra attention to tire selection. Since manufacturers design tires for specific vehicle types, our team begins by assessing your particular model to determine the most compatible range of tires they should use.


Next, they consider your driving habits, such as whether you’re an everyday commuter or the occasional long road trip enthusiast. This allows us to determine the performance your vehicle demands.


Tire technicians at Firebird Tire also examine factors like vehicle weight, driving style, and the season to recommend tires that enhance your driving experience.


Old Tire Removal

The real work begins once the perfect set of new tires is selected. Firebird Tire experts raise your vehicle using professional-grade hydraulic jacks and employ specialized torque tools to remove the lug nuts. While at it, they adhere to strict tire safety protocols to safeguard your vehicle’s structural integrity.


Wheel Inspection

Our technicians conduct a detailed investigation of the tire mounting wheel for proper tire installation. They check for signs of corrosion, examine wheel rims for structural integrity, and assess for signs of tire alignment or suspension concerns. This enables them to identify and nip problems that may compromise tire performance right in the bud.


Mounting and Wheel Balancing

If all seems well, the actual installation is done. This involves carefully placing the tires onto the wheel rims and ensuring alignment.

But we don’t stop there—we also perform tire balancing. This isn’t a fancy add-on; it's a critical step that ensures the weight of the freshly mounted tires is evenly distributed. It keeps vibrations at bay for a comfortable driving experience and promotes longevity by preventing uneven wear.


Inflation and Securing

With the fresh set of wheels on, our technicians go in with calibrated pressure gauges and inflate each tire to the manufacturer’s exact specifications. To complete the summer tire installation, they re-install the lug nuts for a secure fit that guarantees optimal performance from the moment you step on that gas.


Final Inspection and Testing

Finally, we visually inspect the new tires, perform test drives, and check for unusual vibrations or handling issues.


Responsible Tire Disposal

At Firebird Tire, we don’t just install tires — we take responsibility for their entire lifecycle through proper disposal. We tackle this so you don't have to worry about the environmental impact of your tire replacement.


When Should You Replace Your Tires?

Since tire designs and mileage requirements vary between vehicle models and tire brands, there’s no short answer regarding when to seek tire replacement. However, if you resonate with any of the following, you’re due for a new tire installation:

  • Your current tire tread depth is less than 2/32nd  of an inch
  • The tires are a decade-old
  • You have a puncture greater than a quarter-inch size
  • A tire has signs of damage to the tread or sidewall, such as cuts, cracks, splits, punctures or bulges


Other tire services you can enjoy at Firebird Tire include tire rotation, seasonal installations, tire pressure checks, alignment, and tire repair.
