Luckily, it’s easy to determine whether you need new tires. There are three main things you should look for:
To check tread depth, look for the tire wear bar between your treads. This is a small bar that starts out lower than the surrounding tread. Over time, as the rest of your tire tread wears down, it will become the same height as the wear bar. This is a sign you need new tires.
Any bulges or cracks anywhere on your tires also mean it’s time for a replacement. Make sure to check tread and condition across the entire tire, not just one or two places.
Finally, you’ll want to check your tires’ age. A 4-digit Department of Transportation (DOT) number on the side of your tire tells you when it was made. The first two digits represent the week, while the last two digits represent the year.
The compounds in your tires break down over time, so if they were made five or more years ago, you’ll want to get them inspected regularly for signs of damage.
While many vehicle repairs can be done at home by resourceful drivers, tire replacements require special equipment. You’ll want to head somewhere like our tire center, where qualified technicians can help you with everything from choosing the right tires to getting them mounted and balanced. We’ll also properly dispose of your old tires, so you don’t have to.
We carry a wide variety of tires from all the top brands. When you make an appointment, let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll make sure it’s in stock before you arrive.
Once you get new tires, there are a few things you can do to make sure they last longer. Most importantly, check your tire pressure once a month to make sure they’re properly inflated. The proper tire pressure for your vehicle is usually listed on a sticker in your door jam.
Getting your tires rotated about twice a year, or every 5,000 miles, also goes a long way to ensuring they’ll last. This is because your tires wear differently based on where they are on your vehicle. Switching their location can help them wear more evenly.
