Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car. They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don't have a good grip on the pavement.
As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Car owners still need to replace their tires a few times or more throughout the life of a typical vehicle. Despite advances in longer-lasting tires, actual tread life will vary by car type, tire type (such as all season or high performance), driving aggressiveness, and even road and weather conditions. Proper maintenance and responsible driving can maximize the mileage in a set of tires.

Alignments
Wheel alignment (or simply alignment) is standard car maintenance that involves adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the manufacturer's specifications. The main purpose is to let the suspension and the steering systems operate at their desired angles - this reduces tire wear. Alignment is a complicated process and not all mechanics get it right. To have experts handle your car's alignment, visit Fox River Automotive.
Balancing
If you feel excessive vibration in the car, or wobbling of the steering wheel, your tires may be unbalanced. Fox River Automotive has the professional equipment and technicians to measure the balance of your vehicle's tires and make necessary corrections. Call us at 906-499-3396 if you have questions, or contact us so we can evaluate your tires.
Repairs
An incorrectly repaired tire could pose a safety hazard to you and your passengers. At Fox River Automotive, our tire experts will determine whether your tires are able to be repaired, or if they need to be replaced. If the tires are repairable, our certified technicians will make sure they are repaired correctly and get you back on the road.
We Offer Most Major Brands of Tires
At Fox River Automotive, we understand that tires are an important part of your car. The quality of tires and material used on them highly affects the vehicle's performance. Their main purpose is to protect the wheel's rims and improve vehicle performance. For this reason, we only deal with brand name tires. Also, we offer fleet tire management services to ensure you are getting the best value, fuel economy, and life from your tires.
Once a need for new tires is determined, it is necessary to identify the best tires for your vehicle and driving demands. Look for tires that do well in tests for braking, handling, and resistance to hydroplaning. Winter traction should also be considered, if applicable. Let tread wear, ride comfort, noise, and rolling resistance be tiebreakers. Trust the tire experts at Fox River Automotive to help you choose the right tires for your vehicle.
We offer most major brands of tires. These are a few of our preferred brands.

Very busy place but helped us in a pickle. We appreciate you and your hard workers.
We started our vacation off great by arriving at Germfask safely. However, the same night, we decided to get ice cream, and the truck was making a weird noise. We were fearing the worst, wheel bearing. Recommendations from a local store pointed us to Fox River Automotive. I have nothing but kind words to say of Gramps. I've yet to learn his name. Google said he was open. However, we learned differently. Despite being closed, Grandpa took our truck for a ride and advised us of our problems. He even received a phone call from his family telling him breakfast was ready. It's very scary to be 6 hours from home and no way to get around . We are blessed and thankful that Grandpa took the time out of his schedule to diagnose the issue, let us fix it on his property, and a promise to come back after he visits his family from Pennsylvania. His grandson was pretty awesome, too. He didn't have to help at all. He could have simply stated his business was closed and closed the door. May Gid bless this man and young man.
