Between summer heat, standing water on Rivers Avenue after a Charleston downpour, and daily highway miles on I-26, tires here work harder than the mileage rating suggests. Champion Tires & Brakes sources new tires for cars, trucks and SUVs and installs them the same day in most cases — no appointment, no waiting list.
We'll walk you through the real trade-offs before you spend money: how many miles the tread warranty is worth for your commute, whether a quieter touring tire is worth the difference over an economy tire, and whether you should replace two or all four. If you only need two, we mount the new pair on the rear for wet-weather stability.
New tire pricing depends entirely on size and brand, so we quote per vehicle rather than posting a number that would not apply to you. Call with your size and we'll give you options at a few price points.
Starting prices are estimates. Final pricing depends on your vehicle, the parts it needs, and what we find during inspection.
Call or walk in — we read your placard and confirm the correct fitment.
We show you a budget, mid-range and premium option with real trade-offs.
Mount, balance, torque and pressure-set while you wait when stock allows.
We recommend an alignment check so you don't wear out the new set early.
Not always. Front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles can run a matched pair on one axle. All-wheel-drive vehicles are much more sensitive to tread depth differences, and we'll tell you honestly if replacing all four is the safer call for your drivetrain.
If your old tires wore unevenly, pulled, or you have hit a serious pothole, yes. An alignment is far cheaper than replacing a set of tires that scrubbed out in 12,000 miles. See our wheel alignment page for details.
A typical four-tire installation takes about an hour once your vehicle is on the lift. We're first-come, first-served, so mornings are usually the fastest.
Yes, we mount and balance customer-supplied tires. Call for current installation pricing.
“I have been coming here for two years and this is by far the most accommodating, honest, and experienced workers (Paul, Juan, and Mary) that I have encountered. They cover a wide array of issues from new tires to engine work. I will not go anywhere else. Thank you guys for helping me with my car.”
“I was having some issues with my car pulling to one direction and was unsure of what was wrong. I came in and Mary was so helpful and informative! She got me set up with an alignment and the issue was fixed!! I didn't have to wait long, and the price was great! I will definitely be sending my friends and family here to get work done!”
