Tires & Wheels for Cars, Trucks & Diesels

Spencer’s Auto & Diesel sells and installs new tires and wheels for cars, SUVs, pickups and light-duty diesel trucks at our shop on NE 2nd Ave in Ocala. Tell us how you drive, and we’ll match you with the right tire for it, mount it, balance it and send you out on a vehicle that tracks straight.

Buy a set of four and we include a free wheel alignment, because a crooked front end eats new tread fast. Leveling your truck at the same time? Pair the new tires with a leveling kit and we’ll size everything to the new stance in one visit.

Not sure what size you run? It’s printed on the tire sidewall and on the sticker in your driver’s door jamb.

Signs It’s Time for New Tires

  • Tread at 2/32 inch or lessThat’s the point where a tire is worn out. Quick check: put a penny in the tread, Lincoln’s head down. See his whole head? Time for tires.
  • Tread level with the wear barsThe raised bars across the grooves show up flush with the tread when there’s nothing left to give.
  • Cracks, bulges or cutsSidewall damage can’t be patched safely. A bulge means the tire’s structure is already failing.
  • Uneven or cupped wearOne edge worn down or a scalloped feel usually means alignment or suspension trouble too.
  • Tires six or more years oldRubber ages even with good tread, and Florida heat doesn’t help. The last four digits of the DOT code show the week and year it was made.
  • A vibration that won’t go awayIf balancing doesn’t fix it, a tire with a broken belt or flat spot may be the cause.

All-Season Tires

The right call for most daily drivers around Ocala. A good all-season tire grips in summer downpours, runs quiet on the highway and wears evenly for tens of thousands of miles.

All-Terrain Truck Tires

For pickups that split time between pavement, dirt roads, pastures and boat ramps. All-terrain tires add bite off road without making your truck drone at 70 mph like a mud tire would.

Light Truck & Diesel Tires

Three-quarter-ton and one-ton diesels need LT tires with the load rating the manufacturer calls for, often Load Range E. We work on Power Stroke, Duramax and Cummins trucks every day as part of our diesel repair work, so we know what these trucks carry and tow.

Custom Wheels

Want a new look? We’ll check bolt pattern, offset and clearance before anything gets mounted, so your new wheels fit right and don’t rub. Wheels and tires plus a leveling kit is the most common truck upgrade we see.

How Buying Tires at Spencer’s Works

Call ahead or stop by with your tire size. Here’s what happens next.

  1. Tell us how you driveDaily commute, towing, work truck or weekend dirt roads. That decides the tire.
  2. Pick your tiresWe quote a few options that fit your vehicle and budget, in stock or ordered in.
  3. Mount, balance and set pressureEach tire goes on, gets balanced and gets set to your door jamb spec.
  4. Align and road testBuy 4 and the alignment is included, then we road test before you pick it up.

How to Read Your Tire Size

Every tire has its size printed on the sidewall. Here’s what a common heavy-duty truck size means.

Part of the size Example: LT275/70R18 125/122S What it means
LT LT Light truck tire, built for heavier loads and towing
Width 275 Tire width in millimeters
Aspect ratio 70 Sidewall height as a percent of the width
Construction R Radial construction
Wheel size 18 Fits an 18 inch wheel
Load index 125/122 How much weight each tire can carry, single and dual rear
Speed rating S Highest sustained speed the tire is rated for

Your vehicle’s correct size, load rating and pressure are on the sticker in the driver’s door jamb. Trucks that tow or haul should stay at the load rating the manufacturer calls for.

Tire & Wheel FAQs

Do you sell tires or just install them?

Spencer’s sells and installs new tires for cars, trucks and light-duty diesels. We can also mount and balance tires you bought somewhere else.

Buy a set of four new tires from Spencer’s and we include a wheel alignment at no extra charge. New tires wear evenly and last longer when the front end is in spec. Ask about any conditions when you call.

Replace tires when the tread is worn to 2/32 of an inch, when it’s level with the wear bars, or when you see cracks, bulges or cuts in the sidewall. Some vehicle and tire makers recommend replacing tires six to 10 years old no matter how much tread is left.

Your size is printed on the sidewall of your current tires and on the tire sticker in the driver’s door jamb. Leveled or lifted trucks may run a larger size, and we’ll check what fits before you buy.

Most three-quarter-ton and one-ton diesel pickups come from the factory on LT tires with a higher load rating, often Load Range E, and they should stay that way. Passenger tires aren’t built for the weight these trucks carry and tow. Your door jamb sticker lists the rating your truck needs.

Most sets of four are mounted and balanced in about an hour, plus time for the alignment. Call ahead and we’ll have the right tires ready when you arrive.

Yes. We check bolt pattern, offset and clearance, move over or replace your tire pressure sensors so the warning light stays off, and torque the lug nuts to spec.
