FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my tires?
Tires should be replaced when tread depth is 2/32 of an inch or less, or if you see cracks, bulges, or uneven wear. Using the “penny test” is a quick way to check tread safety.
What’s the difference between wheels, hubcaps, and center caps?
Wheels are the core metal structures holding your tires, hubcaps are decorative covers that snap on, and center caps cover the wheel’s center for both style and lug nut protection.
Why should I buy tires and wheels from a local shop instead of online?
A local shop offers professional installation, expert advice, and same-day service if problems arise. Hubcap House has been serving Holly Hill, FL since 1985, giving customers trusted experience and support.
How long do tires typically last?
Most tires last between 40,000 and 60,000 miles, depending on the brand, driving habits, and road conditions. Regular rotations and proper inflation can extend their lifespan.
Do hubcaps and center caps fit all vehicles?
No, hubcaps and center caps come in different sizes and styles specific to your vehicle’s make and model. Our team helps ensure you get the correct fit for your car or truck.
What’s the benefit of upgrading my wheels?
Upgraded wheels can improve your vehicle’s appearance, performance, and even fuel efficiency. They also allow for wider tire options, which can enhance handling and traction.
Can you repair a flat tire, or does it always need replacing?
If the damage is limited to the tread and not the sidewall, most punctures can be safely repaired. Our experts will inspect your tire and recommend whether a repair or replacement is best.
How often should I rotate my tires?
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to promote even wear. This helps extend the life of your tires and ensures better handling.
What are signs that my wheels may need replacement?
Signs include visible cracks, bends, vibration while driving, or difficulty holding air in your tires. Damaged wheels should be replaced promptly to maintain safety.
Do you carry both new and used wheels and hubcaps?
Yes, we offer both new and used options to fit different budgets and vehicle needs. Every product is carefully inspected to ensure quality and reliability.
