Do I Need New Tires?

Do I Need New Tires?

Just because you can see some tread still left on your tire it doesn’t mean it’s a good tire or safe to travel on. As a tire gets older and the tread wears, the rubber starts to deteriorate and loses its flexibility.

The photo shows the same tire from the outer side and from the inner side.  What starts out as small cracks can become large rips like in the tire in the photo which could go flat at any time. What’s especially scary is that this rip was on the inner side of the tire so it was not visible from the outside. 

The average life of a new tire is 4-5 years depending on where and how you drive. Pay attention when you drive – a rough ride may indicate tire damage or wear.  Having good tires will make your vehicle ride better and feel more stable on the road because of the better grip with the road surface.
