Signs That You Need New Tires
Do you suspect that your car needs new tires? After driving around Rockland, Hanover, and Weymouth, Massachusetts, for many miles and many years, your tires will feel the impact of everything that you run over. Learn the signs that you need new tires from Land Rover Rockland and visit our service center for a diagnosis and potential installation.
How Long Do Tires Last?
Most tires with regular maintenance can last for up to five years. Unless you haven’t been maintaining them at the proper intervals or traversing over rough roads and rocky terrain, they should last around that mile-marker.
Check your tire inflation each month if possible. It may be more convenient to purchase a tire gauge at an auto parts store and check it yourself at a gas station where they provide air. Otherwise, you can schedule a time to stop by and enlist a service professional to monitor the tire pressure.
Every six months, it’s best to schedule a tire rotation. Rotations switch the front tires with the rear tires to even out the wear. Front tires wear out much faster than the rear tires. If you do not get the tires rotated, you may experience an uneven, wobbly ride, which signals the end of your tires before their time.
During other service appointments, one of our service professionals will inspect your tires for cracks and measure the treads to see how they’re holding up. They’ll let you know if they suspect that you need a new set of tires.
Signs That You Need New Tires
Specific signs will nudge you that you need new tires for your car. Knowing them can prepare you for purchasing a new set or putting money aside for this important investment. Let’s go over them.
Check your dashboard. Did you see the tire pressure warning light turn on? If you have, it could mean that one or more than one tire may require more inflation. It also may suggest that you have a leak, especially if you’ve been refilling the same tire over and over again.
If your tires look old or show cracks, it may be time for a new set. To determine if you’re ready for a new set for sure, an experienced service professional can examine them. They can also measure the treads.
The tire treads can give you a good prediction of their ability to give you proper traction. Before you schedule an appointment, you can administer your own test using a quarter. Insert the quarter into the tread. If George Washington’s head disappears, your treads contain enough depth to grab onto the road. If George remains head above the tread, the treads may be too shallow to provide enough traction.
