The main point to consider while shopping for car tires is what type of tire you need to get. Car tires could be either wintertime, summer or all-season models. They differ mainly by the pattern of the surface of the tire itself and the chemical type components of the rubber along with a few other inner elements. Because of these differences, you should not commute using winter tires during a summer season and vice versa. Winter car tires are designed for temperature ranges below 9C, and when outside temperature is over that they likely end up very soft like a clay, and break down a lot quicker. And while using summer auto tires in winter, they tend to harden very quickly and become almost like a plastic-type material, that’s why your auto may become difficult to handle. All-season auto tires are a sort of a compromise between the other two types and therefore are usually used where climate is moderate.

Tim T: I stopped in here yesterday as I had a large nail in my tire, just on the edge of the sidewall. Andy is awesome, he confirmed it was leaking out the side and could not be plugged. He found me a great used high performance tire out the door for $40. When he told me that I was relieved and asked if he had a second one so at least I had 2 of the same tires on the back of the BMW. These guys are super honest and just great hardworking no BS guys. I def will be back to support them and a local business. Thanks!!!

Nick F: Called on a Thursday, they needed to order my tires, drove up here from the near northside of Chicago, why??? The lowest price tires anywhere. 4 BFGoodrich T/A traction radials for just over $460. This includes mounting, balancing, and disposal of your old tires.
I got here about 10min before they opened at 8am on a Saturday. They had the car in the shop right away.
I was out and on my way back to Chicago at AM. Can’t say I remember faster service anywhere else

They’re trustworthy and reasonable, and any work they can’t do, they’ll refer you to someone who can.
I would use Greiten’s regardless of where I lived in Southeastern Wisconsin. Highly recommended
