How Often to Replace Tires
These guidelines will help you know when to replace tires
Like many other car maintenance tasks, when it comes to your tires, there is no exact number of years or miles you should reach before you replace them. How often to replace tires depends on a number of variables, including obvious considerations such as tread depth or sidewall damage, but it also depends on indicators you may not often think about, including tire age and the climate you live in.
Tires are an extremely important part of your car’s equipment. No matter how many advanced driver assistance or safety systems your car has, worn-out or damaged tires can render them useless. Those four rubber hoops are the only part of an automobile that contact the road, and bad tires can cause your car to lose traction or efficiency and could lead to a loss of vehicle control entirely.
As we said at the outset, there is no set of rules you can follow that will tell you exactly when to replace your tires. So how do you tell when your tires need to be replaced?
