When Do I Need to Replace My Tires?
The U.S. Department of Transportation recommends replacing your tires once the tire tread reaches 2/32 of an inch. Another simple way to measure your tread is to place a penny with Lincoln’s head face down into the tire groove. If you can see Lincoln’s face, it is time for a replacement. Additionally, your tires may also expose wear bars, which are smooth strips of rubber across the tread, when it is time for them to be replaced.
How Often Do I Need New Tires?
When properly maintained, high-quality tires can last 50,000 miles. Actual mileage can ultimately vary based on a number of factors, including:
- Drivetrain
- Terrain
- Tire type
- Treadwear ratings
- Road conditions
If you want specific tire or tire replacement recommendations, speak with one of our certified technicians about your driving needs.
Why is Tire Rotation Important?
Tires don’t wear evenly due to the way drivetrains disperse power to the wheels, and individual driving habits. To counteract this uneven wear, we perform regular tire rotations in a pattern specific to your vehicle’s drivetrain. Keeping up with regular rotations can extend tire life and preserve traction.
Why Is Tire Pressure Important?
If you want better traction, a longer tire lifespan, and less tire wear, then maintaining proper tire pressure is important. This is because the ideal amount of tread is making contact with the road, which helps reduce heat.
