Tires are the one part of our car, truck, or SUV that we do not ever consider, until there is a problem. Yet, there could be hidden problems ready to surface even if the tires appear fine. Switching to new tires could increase your fuel economy, boost performance (notably in dangerous situations), boost dependability, and lessen the chance of damage due to a tire blowout. We can help guide you about the pros and cons of not changing tires in time if you are worried about getting tires too soon.
The decreased safety of your car, truck, or SUV is the biggest potential risk of not switching your tires. Old tires could expand braking gaps and decrease traction in crisis conditions. The next time a car pulls out in front of you it could take more time to brake and be harder to dodge. Even though you may never face an emergency situation, the inconvenience of needing to repair a flat is an event a lot of folks would like to avoid. As an alternative, the advantage of changing worn tires is that it’ll take less space to stop in dangerous circumstances and you’ll have improved handling to miss such conditions. Another positive, you’ll never need to get your hands grimy replacing a worn tire on the side of the highway.
It is crucial to know when to replace your car’s tires. We suggest two simple methods to know when it’s time to replace your tires. The 1st way is figuring out the age of the tires. If the tires are over 6 years old, then you should replace them. The second way in deciding if you ought to change your tires is measuring the tread depth. The acknowledged smallest safe tread depth is 2/32 inches. If it has gotten to that depth, you ought to replace your tires.
How do I know what the tread depth is? There are specially built gauges that will measure precisely how much tread depth there is. Those instruments are perfect if you must know the specific tread depth, but if you just want to know if you ought to change your tires, all that is required is a solitary penny. Turn the penny so Lincoln’s head is downward facing and put it inside the tire tread. If his head is the same as the tire tread then you should start thinking about replacing.
If the tires are 6 years old (and older), then you ought to change them, even if they appear to have plenty of tread remaining. Exposure to the elements and other outside factors can make the tire to break down over time. When the tire begins to break down it could be more prone to develop leaks and/or blow outs. Warning signs of your tires decaying include color fading, brittleness, and tire cracks. If you see any of these examples you may want to switch your tires at once.
If you have a blowout you may be inclined to only change the tire that failed. However, depending on your car, truck, or SUV & the tread depth remaining on the other tires it may be necessary change out 2 or possibly even all four tires. If the tread depth between your tires are not equal it can produce uneven tire wear and excess wear and tear on the drivetrain. It is suggested that when you are replacing a tire that you also switch out the matching tire on the opposite side of the car. Switch out both back tires or front tires, never just one tire by itself. The one exception to this rule is AWD cars, trucks, or SUVs. All 4 tires must be switched out to make sure the system functions correctly.

We travel during winter and had to have an oil change/tire rotation on our new (to us) Pacifica while in the area Our service advisor, Xavier Maddox, was most accommodating. As we were waiting, he informed us about how long it might take (actually took less than he said) and kept us informed throughout the process, Xavier was pleasant, courteous, and helpful. Thank you.
Finnegan Dodge is the worst place ever to take your car. DON'T DO IT. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY CAR THERE EVER AGAIN. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THEM. IT IS ABOUT THE 5TH ONE.
I took my 2023 Dodge Challenger there on Saturday 1/10/2026. I booked my appointment online and I wanted them to do my State inspection and I keep hearing a rattling where my muffler is. So I dropped it off at 12:30 even though my appointment wasn't until 2 but I said that's fine do what you need to. So I ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Jan 12, 2026
Finnegan Dodge is the worst place ever to take your car. DON'T DO IT. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY CAR THERE EVER AGAIN. AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THEM. IT IS ABOUT THE 5TH ONE.
I took my 2023 Dodge Challenger there on Saturday 1/10/2026. I booked my appointment online and I wanted them to do my State inspection and I keep hearing a rattling where my muffler is. So I dropped it off at 12:30 even though my appointment wasn't until 2 but I said that's fine do what you need to. So I went back home. It was almost 5:00 and I had not received a call about my car, so I called Jessica Boskey with no answer so I left a message. A few minutes later I called and tried to talk to someone in the service department to try and get a status on my car and all she did was transfer me to Jessica's phone again with no answer again. Then I decide to text Jessica. Then Jessica finally calls me and states that they need to do a diagnostic on my car to figure out what the rattle is and that they needed to keep it until Monday. I said WHAT....you never said that you needed to keep my car until Monday and Jessica was not even going to call me, she was just going to keep my car. Then I asked did you do my State Inspection and she said no that they had not done anything to my car because they had to wait until Monday to do diagnostic. I was so angry....the whole reason for taking my car there was for the State Inspection and the rattling was a secondary issue. So I told Jessica to get my car ready and I would be there to pick it up. So I hung up the phone and a few minutes later Jessica calls me back and states the Mechanic did drive my car 9 miles and could not replicate the rattling noise. I said xxxxxxxx you are lying, all she did was make something up to try and appease me.
I said I bet he drove my car 9 miles probably to get some lunch in Sugar Land because the rattling noise is easy to hear... it doesn't take a 9 mile test drive.
Finnegan is an unethical, manipulative dealership that you should AVOID at all costs.
I don’t usually write reviews, but after my experience with Finnegan chrysler Jeep Dodge, I feel it's necessary to warn others. I traded in my previous vehicle and purchased a new one from this dealership, expecting a smooth and respectful process from start to finish. Unfortunately, while the sales process started off decently, the way I was treated after signing the papers has been completely unacceptable.
Once the dealership had my trade-in and the deal was finalized, the communication stopped. I had questions and concerns that came up immediately after the purchase—some involving paperwork, some about the ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Oct 18, 2025

Unfortunately, while the sales process started off decently, the way I was treated after signing the papers has been completely unacceptable.
Once the dealership had my trade-in and the deal was finalized, the communication stopped. I had questions and concerns that came up immediately after the purchase—some involving paperwork, some about the condition of the vehicle, and some regarding the final numbers discussed. Every time I tried to follow up, I was either redirected, ignored, or promised a call back that never came. It honestly felt like I stopped mattering to them the moment they had my signature and my old vehicle in their possession.
What’s worse is the lack of accountability. I’ve been polite and patient in my attempts to get answers, but I’ve been blown off repeatedly. It’s incredibly frustrating to make such a big financial decision—especially one involving a trade-in—only to be treated like a nuisance afterward.
This kind of customer service is completely unacceptable. A dealership should value their customers beyond just closing the sale. The way I’ve been treated makes it clear they’re only interested in short-term gains, not building long-term relationships or trust.
If you’re thinking about trading in your vehicle and buying from Finnegan, I’d strongly advise thinking twice. I regret not going elsewhere, and I won’t be recommending this place to anyone.
This dealership has been nothing but a headache. I've had the same battery issue over and over, and instead of actually fixing the problem, they just swap it out with another "new" battery that ends up going bad again. To make things worse, they give you problems when it comes to honoring the warranty -- instead of standing behind the most recent replacement, they fall back on the original warranty, which makes absolutely no sense. If you're giving out faulty batteries, why should the customer be penalized? On top of that, good luck trying to get ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Sep 2, 2025

The manager is always "in a meeting" and never returns phone calls. I've given this place multiple chances, but at this point it's clear they don't value their customers' time or trust. Oh yeah, the receptionist is disrespectful and rude. 0/10 DONT RECOMMEND.
Noooo!!! My people, what a disappointment this dealership is, I do not recommend coming here. Everyone seems to want to help you and provide good service, but when your vehicle breaks down, you bring it in to get it fixed, it takes almost two weeks to get it fixed, only for the vehicle to end up worse. Even though they are a large dealer, they do not have vehicles to lend, since it is their problem for not having good workers in the service area/mechanics.
