Tires tend to wear unevenly, depending on several factors such as wheel alignment and tire pressure. Your tires will offer you visual evidence as to what is going on. For example, front tires tend to wear most on their outside edges.

To extend the life of your tires, it’s normal practice to have them rotated (moved from wheel to wheel) every six months or so. A prime time to do this is when you are having your lubrication, oil, and filter changed. Here are some simple suggestions to evaluate the fitness of your tires.

Take a walk around your car in daylight and look at each tire.

Check for uneven wear, which can be caused by too much or too little air pressure, problems with alignment or balancing, or problems with steering or suspension. If you happen to see any of the above, or when driving, you feel your vehicle vibrate, it might indicate that you need to have your tires serviced.

While doing this visual inspection, watch for any of the following issues, each one a safety factor that needs to be inspected as soon as possible. These problems have the potential to cause a blowout, resulting in a loss of control that can be very dangerous:

Visual Ques:

-Cracking or bulging treads or sidewalls that may indicate wear or weakness
-Anything that’s poking into the tire (nails, screws, glass)
-Tread pulling away from the body of the tire
-Check the depth of your tread. If you don’t have a depth gauge, you can use a Canadian nickel. Insert the coin with Queen Elizabeth’s crown facing down. If you can see the top of the Queen’s crown, your tire is below 2/32″ and needs to be replaced.
