Visible Damage

One of the most obvious signs that it’s time for new tires is visible damage. Often, this can appear in the form of bulges or bubbles, but you also want to look for signs of cracking along the edge, which is typically due to damage from the sun or age of the material. Additionally, look for any signs of puncture from nails or broken glass.

Tread Test

The more tread your tires have, the safer they are, and low tread can be an indication that it’s time for tire replacements. You can determine if your tread is deep enough by following the quarter test. Simply place a quarter with Washington’s head face down into the slot of the tread. If you can see the top of his head, the tread has gotten too low for safe driving.

Uneven Wear

Regular tire rotations prevent uneven tire wear. However, if you do notice uneven wear on your tires, it is typically a sign you are in need of service or replacements. You may have uneven wear if you feel your car pulling off to one side while driving. Not only do you want to get your tires inspected, but it’s also a good idea to have your alignment and suspension inspected as well.
