Buying replacement tires for a vehicle can be quite costly, especially if the vehicle requires a uniquely sized tire, so people will often wait until the change is absolutely necessary.
The first thing to remember, whenever checking the tire safety of your vehicle, is that the sidewalls of tires are not as tough or as prepared to withstand torment as the treaded surface.
For this reason, a gouge, knick, or other blemish on the sidewall should be examined carefully. This will often demand a replacement tire, especially if the inner fiber cords can be seen.
For instance, companies that lease tires require that the tread be at least 4/32”. A quick measure of the tire tread can determine if yours live up to this standard.
If not, then you should be considering a new set, especially if you live in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or ice.
Bulges, breaks, or sharp objects imbedded in the tire are also red flags.
When it does come time to buy a new set of tires, it is very beneficial to do your homework.
Speak to a store representative about recommended varieties, but also do some research online so you can read reviews and more about the particular tire in question.
