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.

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.
