Tires are essential in helping a vehicle grip the road safely, so having a well-maintained one is vital. Below are a few signs your tires need replacing.
Low Tire Tread
Tire tread keeps the vehicle steady in challenging weather conditions, including snow and rain. If a car loses traction, the tires need to be replaced. Drivers can check for low tire tread using indicator bars, a depth gauge, or the pennies from heaven method.
Tire Cracks and Lumps
When there are cracks in the tires, it is a sign that they will blow or start leaking. In addition, lumps mean that the surface is weakened and can spread to the whole tire, so it needs replacing.
Old Age
If the tires have lasted for more than six years, they will naturally crack, dry out, and thin. To ensure safety, drivers should buy new tires.
Other signs include tire vibrations, switched-on tire lights, and uneven tread tears.
