How to Know When You Should Replace Your Tires

 

When to Replace Your Tires

Tire replacement is essential for safe driving, but it’s easy to overlook. Learn the signs your tires need replacing based on expert recommendations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Types of Tires

  • All-Season Tires: Versatile for various road conditions, including light mud and snow.
  • Winter Tires: Designed for deep snow and icy roads, offering superior traction.
  • Summer Tires: Optimized for warm weather but unsuitable for winter driving.
  • All-Terrain Tires: Perfect for on-road and off-road adventures with enhanced durability.

Signs You Need New Tires

  • Low Tire Pressure: Persistent air loss may indicate punctures or valve issues. Check your tire’s sidewall or car manual for recommended pressure.
  • Old or Worn Tires: Replace tires if they are 10+ years old, have worn treads, or show reduced grip and handling performance.
