How do I know if I need new tires?

If your tires are showing significant wear, have low tread depth, or exhibit visible damage, it’s time to consider new tires. Regularly inspecting your tires can help ensure your vehicle remains safe and efficient on the road.

What This Means

When assessing the condition of your tires, look for indicators such as tread wear and sidewall damage. Tread depth is crucial; a penny test can help you determine if your tires need replacement. Insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head facing down; if you can see the top of his head, your tires are too worn.

Why It Matters

Driving on worn tires can significantly affect your vehicle's handling and braking performance, especially in adverse weather conditions. According to a recent study, approximately 30% of all vehicles on the road have tires that are dangerously worn. [Source]
