We help drivers change their tires and keep them running at their best. With our certified technicians and friendly customer service, you can discover a better way to keep your car running smoothly.
When to Change Your Tires
The two main reasons to change your tires are when your current tires are no longer effective or when you want to match driving conditions. The condition of your tires can make all the difference in stopping distances, traction, and handling. How much tire tread you have is a common reason to change your tires.
Tire tread is the grooved material that makes contact with the road. Through time and use, tire tread will wear away. When your tire tread is low enough, it will affect the safety and performance of your vehicle. Tires with less than 3/32s of an inch of tread are no longer safe to drive on. You can check your tire tread by sticking a penny into the grooves. If you can see above Lincoln's head, you don't have enough tread.
Some of the other reasons that you may need to change your tires due to their condition include:
- Scratches, cracking, or gashes
- Punctures and damage
- Scalloped or uneven tread wear
- Tires are older than five years
You will want to consider changing tires to match the season and activity. If you're planning on off-roading, you will want tires to match rocky terrain and mud. Winter is one of the best examples of having your tires match the season. Everything from ice to cold temperatures can create unsafe driving conditions for standard tires.
Winter tires provide siping for ice, special tread patterns for shedding snow, and rubber that is resistant to freezing temperatures. Summer and all-season tires become rigid in cold weather, causing them to lose traction even if there isn't any snow or ice on the road. Consider a set of snow tires for your peace of mind this winter.
