When To Replace Your Tires
Worn or damaged tires can be a safety hazard for you and other drivers. That’s why it’s important to invest in new tires when necessary. Some indicators that you may need new tires include:
● Treadwear
The tried-and-true method for checking the tread on your tires is the penny test. Simply place a penny head-first into the tread groove of your tire. If your tread is touching Lincoln's head, it means your tires are in good shape. If your tread does not touch his head, your tires are no longer safe and should be replaced promptly. Be sure to do the penny test across multiple spots on your tire to check the tread all the way around.
● Tire Age
Generally, vehicle manufacturers recommend replacing your tires every six years, regardless of your tread wear. However, tire manufacturers recommend replacement every 10 years. Although the amount of suggested years between replacements may vary, it’s a good idea to get your tires inspected by a professional team approximately every 5 years.
● Visual Damage
Do you see any bumps, bulges, cuts, or other unusual wear on your tires? Bumps and bulges indicate that your sidewalls are beginning to fail. A cut or other unusual wear could harbor a small leak that will inevitably cause damage. If you notice any visual damage on your tires, an immediate inspection and possible replacement is advised.
