Tire Installation
Signs Your Vehicle Needs New Tires
The most common reason people see us for new tires is excessive tire wear. Gripping the road is a lot of work for your tires and eventually the tread is going to wear thin. Age and the elements can also wreak havoc on your tires. Look for the following signs that your car needs new shoes:
- Excessive tread wear – slide a penny down into the tread with Lincoln’s head upside down. If you can see the president’s whole head then your tires tread depth is dangerously low.
- Steel threading – your tires have steel bands in them for added strength. If you can see any of the steel wires sticking out of the tire it is time for immediate replacement.
- Uneven wear – Slide your bare hand over your tread (don’t do this if you have steel threads showing. They can cut your skin). Your tread should feel smooth and flat or slightly domed. If there is cupping in the middle, more tread on one side than the other or a choppy feel then it may be time for replacement.
- Sidewall or tread irregularity – any bulges, bumps or soft spots in the tread or sidewall area can mean dangerous damage and imminent failure. Come see us immediately.
