Good tires are your vehicle's only contact with the road. Mike's keeps your tires in peak condition for every season and every Pocono Mountain road condition.
Tires affect everything — stopping distance, fuel economy, handling, and safety. The winding roads through Pike County, the Pocono Mountains, and around Lake Wallenpaupack demand tires that are properly inflated, balanced, and have sufficient tread depth. At Mike's Auto Services & Towing, we provide complete tire care for all makes and models.
Pennsylvania winters bring ice and snow, and summer brings rain-slicked mountain curves. We recommend Pennsylvania drivers check their tire tread depth every fall and consider switching to all-season or dedicated winter tires if you travel frequently on Route 6, 507, or other Pocono-area roads between November and March. Tires with less than 4/32" of tread depth in winter conditions significantly increase stopping distances.
Every 5,000–7,500 miles, or every other oil change. Regular rotation ensures even tread wear across all four tires and significantly extends tire life.
Most punctures in the tread area can be repaired. Sidewall damage, large tears, or damage caused by running flat cannot — those tires need replacement. We'll tell you honestly which is the case.
Vibration at highway speeds usually indicates an out-of-balance tire. Vibration at all speeds, especially when turning, may be a suspension issue. Bring it to Mike's and we'll diagnose it correctly.
All-season tires handle light snow adequately. For frequent winter driving on mountain roads around Hawley and Lake Wallenpaupack, dedicated winter tires provide significantly better traction and shorter stopping distances.
