Tire service for William's Trace, Texas

Empire Tire fits new tires, repairs flats, services Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors and handles rotation and balancing for William's Trace in Magnolia, Texas. Every tire is mounted and balanced on the machine, and you get the tread depth on all four before anything gets sold.

Magnolia sits in Montgomery County where FM 1488 and FM 1774 cross, and between the acreage lots north of town and the job sites along 1774, most of what runs through here is a work truck, a trailer or a family vehicle covering real distance every day. All of it wears tires faster than a city car does.

Tire trouble in William's Trace, and what happens next

The trailer has been parked since last season. Trailer tires age out on a date long before they wear out, and that date is moulded into the sidewall. We check every position, the pressures and the codes, before it gets loaded.
You want a different look without wrecking the ride. Give us the size off the sidewall and we work out what else fits that wheel, what it does to the speedometer and what it does to the ride. The size reader below does the first half in a second.
It is running on the little spare and you are still driving it. A compact spare is a get-home tire, not a tire. Bring it in and we handle it: we repair the original if it can be repaired, replace it if it cannot, and put every wheel back in its right position.
The pressures read different every time you check them. Air moves about one pound for every ten degrees the temperature swings, and a Texas summer swings hard. We set them cold to the door placard and look for the slow leak underneath the swing.
The work vans leave Magnolia every morning and nobody tracks the tires. We check every position on every unit, write down the depths and pressures and tell you which ones are close, before a driver is sitting on the shoulder with a load on.
It is soft every morning and fine by lunch. That is a slow leak, and it is almost always a nail or a screw you cannot see from the outside. We pull the wheel, find the leak in the water, patch it from the inside and rebalance before it goes back on.
The tire light on the dash will not go out. We read all four sensors, find the one that has run out of battery or the tire that is genuinely low, set every corner to the pressure on the door placard and reset the system.
The steering shakes once you are up to speed on FM 1488. A shake that arrives around 60 is a wheel out of balance or a belt that has moved inside the tire. We spin all four on the balancer and tell you which one it is instead of guessing.

What we put on the vehicle in William's Trace

All season, for the daily run. What most cars and crossovers around Magnolia are running: quiet, long wearing and predictable when it comes down hard on FM 1488.
All terrain, truck and SUV. A chunkier tread for pickups that spend part of the week off the pavement, on caliche or on a site road, and the rest of it on the highway.
Light truck, load range E. For towing and hauling. The number that matters is the load rating on the sidewall, not the size, and we match it to what the vehicle actually pulls.
Trailer tires (ST). Trailer tires are built to a different standard than car tires and they age out on a date. Boat, utility, equipment and travel trailers.
Commercial van and box truck. Higher load ratings and stiffer sidewalls for the vans and box trucks that leave Magnolia loaded every morning.
Performance and low profile. Wider sections and shorter sidewalls, where the balance has to be exact because you feel every gram in the wheel.
Run flat replacement. If the vehicle came on run flats we fit run flats. If you would rather go back to a conventional tire, we tell you plainly what changes and what you need to carry.
