6 Signs You Should Replace Your Tires

1.      The tire warning light turns on

TPMS are standard in many new vehicles (Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems). This small indication, which resembles a "U" with an exclamation point in the middle, appears on your dashboard. It may indicate that your tire is worn out if the light flashes frequently. This simply indicates that, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, the tire pressure in at least one of your tires is too low. Bring your vehicle to a nearby mechanic immediately, the problem can be a larger one if left unfixed.

2.      Your tires' sidewalls have cracks

Rubber in tires can dry out and break as they get older. Small cracks or holes in the tire itself will frequently be visible as a result. You should get your tires checked right away if you notice any cracking because this could be a symptom of a blowout in the future, which is extremely dangerous if you're driving.

3.      Bulges appear on your tire

A tire blowout might also be caused by bulges. Bulging may develop when your tires experience a significant hit with a curb or pothole. A bulge may appear in your tire if air enters the space between the inner liner and the outside layers of rubber, cloth, or metal. A weak point in the tire is indicated by a bulge in the sidewall. As soon as you see bulges, contact a car service.

4.      Vibration on the tire

Serious vibrations in your tire are a clue that there is a larger problem at hand. When the inner tire cords move or split apart, the tire vibrates. New tires are the sole solution to this problem. While it might not be obvious to the naked eye, mounting the tire to a balancing machine will likely make it obvious.

5.      High tread depth 

Examining the tread depth lets you tell whether your tires are worn out. An obvious cautionary sign is worn-out tire tread. It is highly recommended that you replace your tires if the tread depth is larger than 2/32nds of an inch. Extreme wear could be found throughout the tire or only in certain areas, such as the outside or the center. This can be measured in a number of ways, but using a coin is the simplest form.

6.      Age usage

Tires have expiry dates. According to many tire manufacturers, their tires can endure up to ten years. No matter how deep the tires are or how well they are maintained, they must be replaced before they turn ten years old. To determine the date and year that the tire was made, look at the date on the sidewall, it was manufactured.
