Is It Time to Replace Your Tires?

Is It Time to Replace Your Tires?

a car parked on the side of a road 

Your car’s tire performance is a key indicator of its efficiency. Tires eventually lose traction and braking ability, and should be replaced when necessary. When your tires are in tip-top shape, they can help you stay safe behind the wheel. Keep reading for more guidance on taking proper care of your tires. 

Here’s two different methods that can help determine if you need to replace your tires: 

  1. If you look at your tread pattern and notice the beginnings of the tread wear bars starting to form between the treads or running across the tires, and then become flush with the tires’ tread, you should replace your tires. 

  1. Conduct the penny test by placing a penny upside down with Lincoln facing you in the center of the tread.  

  • If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, replace your tires immediately. 

  • If Lincoln’s hair is partially visible, start comparing tire prices, as you will need new ones soon. 

Use the following tips to help keep your tires in the best shape possible: 

  • Rotate your tires every six months or 6,000 to 8,000 miles.  

  • If you drive a four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle, replace all four tires when it is recommended in your service manual.  

  • Since tires do not wear evenly, perform the penny test at several points from the outside to the inside of the tires.  

  • Test and replace all of your tires at the same time.  

  • Always keep your tires properly inflated. 

Pay Attention to Your Tire Wear 

If you notice that your tire wear is extremely uneven or that your tires have worn out much faster than you expected, visit an auto shop. They will check your suspension and make any necessary corrections before replacing your tires.
