Some people forget to change their tires. Others are better about getting regular tire service. Here are the top five reasons to change your tires:
-
Your tread is less than 1/16 inch or 1.6 millimeters thick. Your tires should always have more than a depth of 1/16 inch tread, ideally at a thickness of 1 inch of tread depth.
-
If your tread wear indicator bars are exposed, your tires need to be replaced. Tread wear indicators are parallel bars that run perpendicular to the direction of the tread.
-
Replace your tires if they have cracked and weathered side walls. Cracked and weathered side walls are bad news, showing that the strength of the tire is breaking down.
-
Bulges and blisters on the tires are really bad news, for they indicate a potential blow out. Blow outs are a cause of some major accidents, so never let your tires get to the point of having bulges and blisters.
-
If your tires have too much vibration, it is yet another sign that something isn’t quite right with your tires. At the very least, have your tires checked to see if a simple alignment or balance service can reduce the vibration.
