As you take to the road in Colorado Springs, you want to be prepared for whatever comes your way. We don’t need to tell you about the winters here: you’ve lived through them. Describing them as rough can be an understatement. No matter what vehicle you own, though, there is a way to make certain your trips during inclement weather go more smoothly: making sure you have the best tires possible and that they’re properly balanced and aligned.
Faricy Chrysler Jeep is your tire center in Colorado Springs. No matter what tire needs you have, we’ll be happy to assist you when you come by to visit. Our mission is to make sure the drivers of Colorado Springs are driving as safely as they can, and owning the right set of tires is one of the best ways to remain safe. Even then, owning good tires is only part of the game. Repairing them, rotating them, and knowing when to replace them are also key. That’s part of why we’re here. Our customer service experts won’t just sell you the best tires; they’ll also inform you about them so that you feel educated on what you bought and what to do in the future.
There are many tire types you can choose from. The majority of drivers have all-season tires, but there are also winter tires, summer tires, performance tires, and more. We carry them all here at Faricy Chrysler Jeep and can help you choose the right tires for your car, truck, or SUV.
Most vehicles today come with all-season tires. These tires are not designed to excel in any one season, nor are they designed for racing speeds or serious off-roading. However, all-season tires serve most drivers well because they do not need to be changed out depending on the time of year. They can handle most weather effectively, but they do suffer in severe weather.
If you know that you will be driving in snow and ice, you might want to opt for winter tires. Winter tires will grant you more traction in cold weather, which is quite attractive for Colorado Springs residents. Their deeper tread means you’ll have a safer trip during and after winter storms. However, as the name suggests, winter tires do not do as well in hotter weather. That’s when summer tires come in; summer tires are good for spring, summer, and autumn. These tires can handle wet summer roads and lower your stopping distance. Once temperatures go below 40 degrees, however, they do not operate as efficiently and will need to be switched out.
Performance tires tend to be for sports cars. They give drivers better handling, allow for sharper cornering, and can sustain higher speeds safely. For passionate sports car drivers, these tires can be a real blessing. Similar to summer tires, most performance tires have to be switched out when the temperature turns cold. However, there are some high-performance all-season tires that are a good fit for Colorado Springs. There are even some snow-rated performance tires if you want to take your sports car out in the winter.
What tires work best for you depends on your vehicle and your lifestyle. Obviously, the winter months in Colorado make winter tires attractive, but you’ll still want a separate set for the warmer months. Plus, just because you live in Colorado Springs does not mean you don’t travel elsewhere. If you’re feeling unsure about what tires are right for you, just stop by, and we’ll be happy to help you out.

We don’t just sell tires at Faricy Chrysler Jeep. We also work with the tires you already have and help you decide when it’s time to replace them. It might be due to use, or it might be due to damage, but at some point in your driving career, you’ll notice your tires are not faring as well as they once did. At that point, it’s time to visit us, so we can evaluate whether the situation is repairable or if a brand-new set needs to be purchased.
We also rotate tires, which is essential for tire longevity and safety. Similarly, balancing tires is a necessity that too many overlook. Balancing your tires reduces vibrations at higher speeds, leading to a more pleasant ride. If you have your tires balanced, you’ll be able to feel a difference when you’re on the road. Before coming in, you might wonder how much of a difference balancing will really make. When you leave, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to get it done.
By ensuring your tires are healthy, you’ll make your car last longer and make your drives safer. Overlooking tire health can lead to an inconvenient flat that strands you, but far worse, it can lead to accidents. Investing in your tires means investing in your car’s future and your own. In Colorado Springs, the roads can become rough after a nasty winter. We’ve all hit some awful potholes in our time. You will want to make certain your tires are up for that challenge.

Simply put: we know our stuff. We’ve been working with the Colorado area for over 80 years, which means we have decades worth of institutional knowledge about the area. At this point, there’s no tire problem we haven’t run across, which means there are no questions we won’t be able to answer or problems we won’t be able to solve.
We also know what questions to ask. Often, a customer will be unsure what set of tires will serve them best. We know to inquire about how often they drive, where they drive, and if they are willing to change tires with the season. The answers to these questions, among others, can reveal a lot. We know some tires are ideal for one person but not another; once we hear about your situation, we can ensure you’re riding with the perfect set.
