Fresh tires are vitally important to your safety on the road. One of the most important factors in your ability to stop is the depth of your tire tread.

On a wet road at highway speeds, it can take up to 10 additional car lengths for a vehicle with 2/32 inch tread to stop, compared with a car with 10/32 inch tread.

They key, of course, is a wet road. Here in Avondale, we don't get too much rain. You could be driving on completely bald tires right now and not know it until the next time it showers-- then suddenly, you may find yourself hydroplaning in shallow puddles, and skidding on even mildly wet surfaces.

That's why it's important to keep track of your tire tread depth, even when conditions are dry. By the time you know a rain storm is coming, there may not be time to prepare.

Check out our selection of tires approved for use in your Toyota at our Tire Center, or have tires put on, rotated, or inspected at our Service Center.
