Complete Tire Installation Services

Proper tire installation involves more than placing a tire on a wheel. The tire must be compatible with the vehicle and wheel, correctly mounted, properly inflated and balanced before the vehicle returns to the road.

Our tire installation service can include:

• Verification of tire size and vehicle fitment
• Review of load index and speed rating
• Inspection of the wheels and existing tires
• Removal of the existing tires
• Professional tire mounting
• Computerized wheel balancing
• Valve-stem and TPMS considerations
• Directional and asymmetric tread verification
• Proper tire inflation
• Wheel installation and lug-nut torque
• Final fitment and visual inspection

Services required can vary based on the vehicle, wheel, tire size and condition of the existing components.

Car, Crossover and SUV Tire Installation

You do not need to drive a modified truck to have tires installed by Trux Unlimited. We provide tire installation for compact cars, sedans, coupes, minivans, family SUVs, crossovers, luxury vehicles, hybrids and electric vehicles.

Our team can help confirm the correct factory-recommended tire size, load index and speed rating before installation. Visit our Passenger Car and SUV Tires page to learn more about available replacement tires.

Truck, Jeep and SUV Tire Installation

Trux Unlimited installs factory-size and oversized tires for many trucks, Jeeps, Broncos and SUVs. We can help coordinate the tire size with the vehicle’s wheel specifications, suspension height and available clearance.

Popular applications include:

• Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra
• Ford F-150, Super Duty and Bronco
• Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500
• Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator
• Toyota Tacoma, Tundra and 4Runner
• Nissan Frontier and Titan
• Other trucks, Jeeps and four-wheel-drive SUVs

Off-Road Tire Installation

Trux Unlimited specializes in off-road tire installation for trucks, Jeeps, Broncos and SUVs. We install all-terrain, rugged-terrain, hybrid-terrain and mud-terrain tires in many factory and oversized applications.

Off-road tire fitment can depend on tire diameter, tire width, wheel width, offset, backspacing, suspension height and fender clearance. A tire size that fits one version of a vehicle may not fit another setup without modifications.

Explore our off-road tires, all-terrain tires and mud-terrain tires.

Oversized Tire Installation

Trux Unlimited installs many popular oversized tire applications, including 33-inch, 35-inch, 37-inch and larger off-road tires when the vehicle, suspension and wheels can properly accommodate them.

Larger tires may require a leveling kit, lift kit, different wheel specifications, trimming or other modifications. Actual fitment varies by vehicle and setup.

Our team can help coordinate your tires with custom wheels and suspension upgrades.

Performance and Low-Profile Tire Installation

Trux Unlimited installs many performance and low-profile tire applications for sports cars, muscle cars, luxury vehicles, performance sedans and powerful SUVs.

Performance tire installation may require verification of:

• Front and rear tire sizes
• Staggered fitments
• Directional tread orientation
• Asymmetric tire positioning
• Load and speed ratings
• Low-profile tire and wheel compatibility
• TPMS components

Visit our Performance Tires page for additional information.

Commercial and Light-Truck Tire Installation

We install many LT tires, work-truck tires and commercial-van tires for pickups, contractor vehicles, service vans and light-commercial applications.

Tire size and load capacity are especially important for vehicles that carry tools, equipment, cargo or trailers. Contact us with the vehicle, tire size and application to confirm compatibility.

Learn more on our Commercial and Light-Truck Tires page.

Professional Tire Mounting

Tire mounting is the process of removing the existing tire and correctly installing the replacement tire onto the wheel. Before mounting, the wheel and tire should be checked for obvious damage, compatibility and proper sizing.

Specialized care may be required for low-profile tires, oversized truck tires, directional tires, asymmetric tires and custom wheels. Contact us in advance to confirm compatibility for specialty applications.

Computerized Tire and Wheel Balancing

After mounting, the tire-and-wheel assembly should be balanced. Computerized balancing identifies weight differences around the assembly so corrective wheel weights can be installed where needed.

Possible signs of a balance-related issue include:

• Steering-wheel vibration at certain speeds
• Vibration through the seat or floor
• Uneven or irregular tire wear
• New vibration after tire installation
• A missing or displaced wheel weight

Vibration can also be caused by wheel damage, tire irregularities, alignment problems, suspension components or other conditions. An inspection may be needed to identify the cause.

TPMS and Valve-Stem Considerations

Many modern vehicles use a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, commonly called TPMS. Depending on the vehicle and existing components, tire installation may involve inspecting, servicing or relearning the TPMS sensors.

A TPMS warning light can indicate low tire pressure, a sensor issue or another system condition. TPMS does not replace regular manual pressure checks.

Let our team know if the TPMS warning light is illuminated or if you are installing a second set of wheels.

Winter Tire Installation and Seasonal Changeovers

Trux Unlimited installs winter and snow tires for cars, trucks, SUVs, crossovers, vans and many performance vehicles. Seasonal service can involve mounting winter tires on the existing wheels or installing a dedicated winter wheel-and-tire package.

Schedule winter tire installation before the first major snow or extended period of freezing temperatures. Seasonal appointments can fill quickly.

Visit our Winter Tires page for additional information.

Do You Need an Alignment with New Tires?

An alignment is not automatically included with every tire installation, but it should be considered when:

• The existing tires show uneven wear
• The vehicle pulls to one side
• The steering wheel is off-center
• Steering or suspension components were replaced
• The vehicle recently struck a curb or severe pothole
• A lift kit or leveling kit was installed
• The vehicle’s ride height has changed

Proper alignment can help support predictable handling and more even tire wear. Trux Unlimited also offers alignment services for many lifted and modified vehicles.

What to Provide When Scheduling Tire Installation

When contacting Trux Unlimited, please provide:

• Your vehicle’s year, make, model and trim
• Your current tire size
• The new tire size, if different
• Your wheel size and specifications, if known
• Whether the vehicle is lifted, leveled or lowered
• Whether the wheels use TPMS sensors
• Whether you need tires, installation or both
• Your preferred Fort Wayne or Angola location

If you already have tires that were purchased elsewhere, contact the appropriate location first to confirm tire condition, size, equipment compatibility, installation policy and pricing.
