Why Should You Replace Your Tires?

A sturdy set of tires are critical to your safety—after all, how else can you brake on a dime to avoid a fender bender? Or stay in control while swerving around obstacles to avoid a collision? But to accomplish these feats, you'll need thick tread to help you grip to the road since balding tread will result in sliding and longer braking distances.

Also, you'll need fresh tires to help you top off your performance, whether you're rushing from 0-60 mph in record time, trying to merge into a tough spot, or remaining in control when traveling over loose grades like gravel and dirt, you'll need strong tread digging into the road. Best of all, you can even tailor your replacement for the type of driving you prefer—like requesting all-season tires to help you take on mountain trails or if you travel out of state to snowy places often.

When you drive with old, worn, and damaged tread, your car needs to work harder to move your forward. However, with new tread and properly balanced tires, your motor ultimately works less to cruise, which will help you enjoy better gas mileage for fewer trips to the gas station during your road trips and weekly commutes.

Knowing the Signs: Symptoms That Require Tire Replacements

To know when it's time to replace your tires, look for balding tread, as this will increase your braking distance while impeding your performance. For a quick reference, insert a penny head-first into your tread's grooves—see the top of Lincoln's head? Then you'll want to schedule a replacement to keep your driving experience at its peak.

The more immediate indicator to replace your wheels involves when you drive over a damaged or faulty road (i.e., cruising over potholes, obstacles like nails, dirt paths, etc.). The obvious sign you'll need a tire replacement is a cracked sidewall to reduce your risks of having a blowout on the highway. However, even if you don't notice any damage, you can still schedule an inspection, and our certified experts will let you know if you need a new set of wheels.

Should You Schedule a Tire Rotation?

Covering the basics, a tire rotation is when you change the positions of your wheels to even out the wear of your tread—and typically, you'll want to perform this service every 5,000 miles. This evens out your wear and extends your tread life since you'll experience heavier wear among different pairs of wheels—for example, if you drive a front-wheel drive vehicle, your front tires take more friction during take-offs and turns, which causes them to wear at a faster rate than your rear tires, thus moving your rear tires forward puts less strain on the set of wheels that were formerly in the front.

Extending Your Tire Life: Tips You Can Start Now

Along with rotating your tires, keeping them topped off with fresh air extends their life since they'll work less to get rolling while reducing the strain on the inner parts of your wheel (like your wheel well, belts, etc.), lowering your odds of damaging your tire beyond repair. Also, make sure you stay on schedule with wheel alignments—by keeping your wheels angled right, you'll reduce excess wear on a single wheel, which keeps your tread thick and gripping to the road for potentially thousands of miles to come.
