When should you replace your tires?

In addition to the tire’s age, a flat tire issue, reckless driving on the highway, off-roading, and many other comparable reasons could also contribute to tire wear. Because tires are essential to your vehicle’s performance and wear unevenly, you must replace all four tires at once.   

How to Check your Tire for Tire Wear?   

Place a penny in your tire’s tread depth and see whether you can see the President’s head to determine tire wear. If it is apparent, you should replace your tires immediately because they are not keeping the recommended tread depth.
