When To Replace Your Tires

Driving on worn tires is dangerous. It reduces traction, increases stopping distance, and can lead to blowouts. Don't wait for visible damage - check your tread depth regularly.

1. Check your tire's tread depth with a penny. Insert Lincoln's head upside down into the tread groove. If you can see all of his head, it's time for new tires.
2. Inspect your tires visually for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear patterns. These are signs of damage that need immediate attention.
3. Consider your driving habits and conditions. Aggressive driving, frequent highway travel, and harsh weather conditions can accelerate tire wear.

Pro tip: Rotate your tires every 5,000-8,000 miles to promote even wear and extend their lifespan.
