How to Know When New Tires Are Due for Service
The tires are a car's most concrete link to the terrain. So, when they start to wear down, you can easily lose traction or control, making the roads extra hazardous.
If you're wondering how tell when new tires are due, the first thing to look at is tread wear. You can use a penny to determine tread depth or you can use a simple tread wear gauge.
Rule of thumb states that if you tread falls below 1/16th of an inch, you're due for new tires. Other indicators you may spot are:
- Unusual bulges in a tire's rubber
- Any cracks in the sidewalls
- Extra vibration in the steering wheel while driving
