How Can You Know If A Car Must have New Tires

Ever wonder when to replace your worn car tires? The performance of your car tires is essential to the safety, performance and efficiency of your vehicle. Nearly all tires are manufactured to produce similar performance across their lives. However, in time they start to lose performance with regard to their traction and braking functionality.

The tread on your tires should not drop below 1/16 of an inch (1.6 millimeters) in depth. As long as you on a regular basis drive on slick, wet roads, you'd be even better off with twice that much. You can buy a gauge to indicate the tread depth the way the experts carry out.

Place a penny head first into a couple of tread grooves across the tire. If you continuously see the top of Lincoln's head, your treads are shallow and worn. Should this is the issue, your tires should really be replaced. If part of Lincoln's head is always covered by the tread, you could have even more than 2/32 of an inch of tread depth remaining.

Tread depth isn’t the only reason to evaluate when replacing your tyres. Tyres carry moisture and oils that help in keeping them supple and assist in dispersing heat. As a tyre ages is loses it’s firmness as the oils evaporate out. Most of the time a tyre will be replaced after 5 years even when it still has enough tread depth.
