4 signs it’s time to replace your tires
Inflation has been a hot topic for several years, as the cost of everything from groceries to gas to housing has increased consid - erably since 2019. Cars are no exception to that phenomenon, and anyone who has purchased a new car over the last half decade likely experienced some sticker shock when they started their search for a new vehicle.

That marks an increase of more than 27 percent in a four-year pe - riod. Cars are indeed a significant investment, which underscores the importance of vehicle mainte - nance.
