Spring has almost sprung and it’s time to talk Tires!

Fact #1 – Every tire has a birthdate!  So, even though you see a really LOW price online, make sure you are getting fresh rubber!  We see people come in with “new” tires that they have purchased online that were actually manufactured 3,4, sometimes even 5 years ago and have been sitting in some warehouse somewhere!  If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is!

Fact #2- West Side Cycles can compete with online tire prices.   If we don’t have a particular size/model in stock, we can usually have it next day.  You can rest assured, the tires you purchase at West Side will be current model year tires.

Fact #3 – Tire pressure has a huge effect on performance, fuel mileage and tire wear.  Make sure you check your tire pressures regularly, especially before you start the season!
