When Do I Need New Tires?

At 2/32 of an inch, the  U.S. Department of Transportation recommends replacing your tires. If you don’t have a tire wear gauge, place a penny with Lincoln’s head face down into the tire groove. If you can see Lincoln’s face, it is time for a replacement. You may also see wear bars, which are smooth strips of rubber across the tread, appear if your tires are ready to be changed.

How Often Do I Need New Tires?

High-quality tires can often last 50,000 miles with proper care, though mileage will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

• Drivetrain
• Terrain
• Tire type
• Treadwear ratings
• Road conditions

Consult with one of our technicians for more specific recommendations for your driving needs.

Why is Tire Rotation Important?

Due to driving habits, and the way drivetrains disperse power to the wheels, tires don’t all wear evenly. To combat this wear, tires are rotated at regular intervals in a pattern specific to the type of drivetrain the vehicle has. Keeping up with regular rotations can extend tire life and preserve traction.

Why Is Tire Pressure Important?

Properly inflated tires have better traction, experience less wear, and can have a longer lifespan. This is because the ideal amount of tread is making contact with the road, which helps reduce heat.
