How do I know if I need new tires?
To determine if you need new tires, check for uneven wear, cracks, or bald spots on the tread. Additionally, using the penny test can help assess tread depth; if you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time for a replacement.
What This Means
Your tires are the only point of contact between your vehicle and the road. If they are worn out, it can lead to decreased traction, longer stopping distances, and an overall unsafe driving experience.
Why It Matters
Proper tire maintenance is crucial not just for safety, but also for fuel efficiency. According to a study, under-inflated or worn tires can reduce fuel economy by up to 3% [Source]. This means that investing in new tires can actually save you money in the long run.
