When should you replace your tires?

Replacing your tires properly and on time is one of the most important things you can do to keep your car safe on the road. How long tires last depends on how you use them and on road conditions. So how do you know when it's time to replace them?

Signs your tires need replacing

1. The tread depth is low

The tread is what gives a tire its grip on the road. Tread depth should not be less than 1.6 mm. You can check it with the wear indicators on the tread.

2. The tire is wearing unevenly

Uneven tire wear can come from incorrect pressure, shock absorber problems or imbalance.

3. The tire has cracks or holes

Cracks, deformation or holes in the sidewalls make it more likely that the tire will soon blow out.

4. Grip has dropped

If the car is getting harder to control on wet, snowy or icy roads and tends to skid, have your tires checked.
