Need help with your Tire Replacement?

How urgent is a Tire Replacement?

If you want to continue driving your car with worn-out tires, it may seem safe at first. However, every mile you drive on tires that need replacing increases the risk of blowouts and decreases your vehicle’s performance. Instead of reacting to a flat tire or sudden failure, being proactive with tire replacement can save you from unexpected issues and ensure a safer, smoother driving experience.

When do you need a Tire Replacement?

Tread Depth

If the tread depth is less than 2/32 of an inch, it’s time to replace the tires. Use a tread depth gauge or the penny test to check the depth of your tire treads.

Uneven Wear

If the wear is significantly more on one side or if you see bald spots, it could indicate alignment issues or other problems, and it might be time to replace the tires. Make sure to inspect your tires for uneven wear patterns.

Cracks or Bulges

Cracks and bulges can indicate damage that compromises the tire’s integrity. If you notice any visible cracks, cuts, or bulges, it may be time for new tires.

Age of the Tires

Tires should generally be replaced every 6 to 10 years, regardless of tread wear. Check the manufacturing date on the tire sidewall for age information.

Reduced Traction

If you notice your vehicle slipping or having reduced grip in wet or slippery conditions, it may be a sign that your tires are worn out and need replacing.

Vibration or Noise

Excessive vibration or unusual noises could indicate issues with your tires. If your car is experiencing these symptoms, we recommend you have your tires inspected by our expert technicians.
