Replacing tires when need be is a part of vehicle maintenance that should not be skipped. At Malouf Ford, we want to make sure drivers in the area know when it is time to replace theirs. Let's take a look at some of the top signs that it is time for new tires.
Checking your tread depth can be quick and easy, and all that you need is a penny. Insert the penny into your tire tread with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can still see his entire head, your tires do not have enough tread. Tire tread should always be at or above 1/16 of an inch.
Sometimes, you can just tell that you are not getting the traction that you used to. This is particularly true on wet roads. You should also regularly inspect your tires' sidewalls for any signs of cuts or cracks.
