How To Tell When I Need New Tires

Reference your vehicle’s user manual to see your car’s recommended tire replacement schedule. This time period changes based on your driving patterns, care routine (or lack thereof), your area’s road conditions, and other variables. The most important component of your tires is the tread, which gives you the traction you need to stop, turn, and control your vehicle appropriately. You can check your tires tread by sticking the top of a penny into one of your tires; if the tread exposes the top of Lincoln’s head, you know it is time for a new set of tires.
