Tires for Every Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram

As an authorized Mopar dealer, our selection of high-quality parts and accessories extends to tires. Whether you drive a Dodge Charger, Jeep Wrangler, Ram 1500 truck, or any other vehicle in the Mopar family, we’ll put the right tires on it. You’ll find many OEM-recommended and name-brand tire options for your vehicle, including tires from Goodyear, Michelin, Firestone, Continental, Pirelli, and more.

There are many types of vehicles on Michigan’s roads, including older models and special trim levels. LaFontaine CDJR Walled Lake has tires for all of them. You can get all-season tires for your commuter Jeep Compass SUV or a set of all-terrain tires for your full-size Ram 1500 truck to take onto the nearest trails. If you need high-performance tires for your sports car or Dodge muscle car, you’re in the right place.

Tires for Every Season and Situation

Shop for snow tires to handle tough Michigan winters, touring tires for highway driving in your Chrysler Pacifica minivan, summer tires for your seasonal vehicle, and run-flat tires if you want an extra safeguard against punctures. We’ll explain everything you need to know about each tire, including the speed rating, tread pattern, depth, load rating, and other factors that affect its performance and lifespan.

LaFontaine CDJR Walled Lake will make sure the tires you buy are a factory fit. It’s not just Mopar, either, as we sell plenty of tires approved for other major automakers. Tell us what you drive and how you drive it, and we’ll direct you toward the tires that suit your lifestyle.

Tire Installation and Balancing Services

Anyone can sell you a set of tires—but then there’s the matter of putting them on your car. Along with getting you the right tires, our team offers professional tire installation and balancing. We’ll start by using specialized equipment to remove the old tires from the wheels and install the new ones. Or we can install them on a new set of wheels if you need a second set ready to go.

From there, our computerized balancing services ensure the smoothest possible ride on pavement, dirt, or even snow. Tires and wheels often have small weight imbalances that are magnified at speed, affecting handling and comfort. Believe us, you’ll notice when your Dodge or Jeep has an imbalanced tire!

We use a dynamic balancing machine to determine where to add small weights on the wheels. This service reduces vibrations for a more comfortable ride and more even treadwear. We’re also happy to check the balance on your existing tires if something feels off.

TPMS Service and Recalibration

The LaFontaine tire team will also handle tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) service and recalibration. TPMS sensors are required by federal law to alert you to low tire pressure and potential leaks. Along with installing sensors on your new tires and wheels, we can check the sensors in your existing sensors if you suspect they aren’t working or are giving incorrect readings.

With proper installation, balancing, and sensors, you’ll be able to enjoy your new tires for as many miles as possible and maximize your investment. Drive confidently knowing you have great tires that are set up for the roads or trails.

Wheel Alignment Services

Once your tires are installed and the lug nuts are torqued, you may also need a wheel alignment for the best performance. As you rack up the miles, suspension parts can move slightly, or you might hit a rock that knocks a component out of place. When the wheels are no longer pointing in the right direction, even by a little bit, it has a big impact on your vehicle.

Benefits of Regular Alignment

By regularly getting your wheels aligned, you’ll have less tire wear, better ride stability, and more steering control. It’s a must for Jeep and Ram owners who want to maximize their towing and off-road capability, or Dodge drivers who need balanced performance and full control over their vehicle. Properly aligned wheels even produce higher fuel economy because they have less rolling resistance.

Precision Adjustments for Safety and Performance

Our tire shop can perform regular alignment inspections and make precise adjustments to restore it to factory specs. This includes the toe, camber, and caster, so the tires make the best possible asphalt contact when driving in a straight line or taking a hard turn. This service makes your vehicle safer and easier to drive, and it also reduces ownership costs by helping you replace tires less often.

We recommend having your wheels aligned whenever you buy a new set of tires, and then have the alignment checked every six to 12 months, depending on how often you drive on rough roads. The alignment shifting over time is a natural part of driving a vehicle—but it doesn’t have to stay out of balance. Trust us to keep your tires rolling in tune with your suspension.

Tire Repair and Routine Maintenance

There are a lot of hazards that can jump out at you on the roads of Walled Lake and Greater Detroit. Hitting rocks, nails, scrap metal, and potholes can lead to a flat tire—and you may not even realize you hit debris until you’re stuck on the side of the road. If you’re replacing one tire, you often need to replace two or even all four because of the differences in tread depth.

The good news is that one flat tire doesn’t automatically mean that you’re on the hook for a new set. In many cases, small punctures in the tread can be repaired, allowing the tire to work perfectly again. We offer tire patching and puncture repair services to fix your tire quickly and get you back on the road. This saves you time and money with peace of mind that comes from quality repair work.

Routine Maintenance for Safety and Longevity

Like every part of your vehicle, from the engine to the seats, caring for your tires and monitoring them is a must. The front and rear tires wear at different rates, so rotating them every 5,000-7,500 miles evens out this imbalance. We offer fast and easy tire rotations, whether as a standalone service or as part of other services such as oil changes and brake jobs.

Regularly inspecting tire tread is another essential maintenance task. The NHTSA recommends replacing the tires whenever the tread is down to 1/16-inch deep or when visible wear indicator bars and cords are present. As part of our multi-point inspections, we’ll examine the tread depth to see if it’s still safe and look for signs of misalignment, wheel imbalance, and other issues.

Did we mention air pressures? If the tire pressure is above or below factory recommendations, it can cause excessive wear, handling issues, poor fuel economy, and more. The PSI often changes significantly due to temperature fluctuations or an undetected leak. Our technicians will check tire pressure and adjust it as needed for optimal performance.

Be Covered by Tire Warranties and Protection

Confidence is everything at the wheel, and this includes being confident that your tires will perform as expected. Like the powertrain and bumper-to-bumper warranties that come with a new vehicle, you should expect a solid tire warranty. If something unexpected happens, such as tread peeling and splitting, you shouldn’t be left high and dry.

Many tire brands offer manufacturer warranties, with most lasting a certain number of months, years, or miles. However, the terms can vary widely depending on the company, tire type, and even the surfaces you drive on. Manufacturer warranties also differ significantly in what they cover. Some offer protection against road hazards and uneven wear, while others only cover materials and workmanship.

Mopar Tire Warranty and Added Protection

At LaFontaine, you can add the Mopar Tire Warranty to any set of tires that are going on your Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, or Ram vehicle. This special tire protection plan fills the gaps from the manufacturer’s warranty to give you additional coverage, including:

• Mopar will pay replacement costs up to the current retail value if common road hazards, such as screws and broken glass, damage your OEM or eligible aftermarket tires and wheels.
