New Tires for Cars, Pickups & SUVs in Independence, KS

We sell and install new tires for cars, half-ton and heavy-duty pickups, SUVs and lifted trucks, often the same day when your size is in stock and the next day when we order it. Choose from Goodyear, Cooper and Kenda, with a nationwide road hazard plan available.

How fast can I get new tires in Independence?

Often the same day. If we have your size in stock, we can mount and balance a set while you wait or while you're at work. When we don't have your size, we order it, and orders often arrive the next day.

That matters when your truck is how you get to work. A worn-out set or a tire that can't be patched doesn't leave room to wait a week for a dealership appointment. Call 620-331-3730 with your tire size (it's printed on the sidewall, something like LT265/70R17) and we'll tell you what we have and when we can get you in.

Which tire brands do you carry?

We carry three brands we trust to hold up on Southeast Kansas roads:

Not sure which is right for you? Tell us what you drive and how you use it, and we'll recommend the best fit for your vehicle and budget.

Why buy tires from a local shop instead of a big-box store or the dealership?

Which tires should I buy for Southeast Kansas roads?

It depends on what you drive and where. Here's how we usually talk it through:

We'll give you an honest recommendation based on how you drive, not on what's most expensive.

What does installation include?

When you buy tires from Ashcraft, installation covers:

  1. Check the size and load rating against your door-jamb placard, so the tires match what your vehicle was built for.
  2. Mount the new tires and replace valve stems, or service your TPMS sensors so the pressure light works right.
  3. Balance each wheel so you don't get a shimmy at highway speed.
  4. Set the pressures to spec and torque the lug nuts.
  5. Look at wear on the old tires. If they wore unevenly, we'll tell you, because that usually means an alignment or suspension problem that will wear out the new set too.

What does the Nationwide Road Hazard Plan cover?

Our optional Nationwide Limited Road Hazard Plan protects passenger and light truck tires against damage from a puncture, bruise or break that happens during normal driving on a maintained road. Nails, glass and potholes are the most common examples. Coverage lasts 3 years or until the tire wears to 2/32 inch, whichever comes first, and it travels with you nationwide.

The plan is purchased with your tires and must appear on your receipt. Read the full Nationwide Limited Road Hazard Plan (PDF).

Do new tires need an alignment?

Not always, but it's worth checking. If your old tires wore down on one edge, the problem that caused it is still there, and it'll start on the new tires the first day. We can check alignment while your vehicle is already on the rack. See wheel alignment.

Tires for electric vehicles

We sell and install tires for Tesla, Rivian, Lucid and other EVs. EVs are heavy and deliver instant torque, so they wear tires faster than most drivers expect. For EVs, our service is tires only.

Farm, trailer and equipment tires

Tires for tractors, implements, skid steers and trailers are a different job. Those are covered on our farm and ag tires page.

They ordered new tires for my truck. They told me when the truck would be ready, and it was.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get new tires put on?

If we have your size in stock, mounting and balancing a set usually happens the same visit. If we need to order, tires often arrive the next day. One customer put it this way: "They ordered them and me done the next day."

What tire brands do you carry?

We carry Goodyear, Cooper and Kenda tires. Tell us your size and how you drive, and we'll recommend the right fit.

Is road hazard protection included?

Road hazard protection is optional. Our Nationwide Limited Road Hazard Plan can be purchased with passenger and light truck tires and lasts 3 years or until the tread wears to 2/32 inch, whichever comes first. Read the full plan (PDF).

Do you put tires on electric vehicles?

Yes. We sell and install tires for Tesla, Rivian, Lucid and other EVs. For EVs, our service is tires only.

What's included when I buy tires from you?

Mounting, balancing, new valve stems or a TPMS service as needed, and a check that your tire pressure light is off before you leave. You can also add our Nationwide Limited Road Hazard Plan to passenger and light truck tires.

Do you do tires for lifted trucks and off-road builds?

Yes. We mount and balance larger off-road and all-terrain tires, and we can check alignment afterward so the new rubber wears evenly.

How do I know if I need new tires?

Check the tread with a penny (if you can see all of Lincoln's head, you're under 2/32 inch), look for cracks in the sidewall, and check the four-digit date code. Tires over six years old deserve a close look. Our winter tire guide walks through it.
