How often you should replace your tires depends on what type of tire you have. As a general rule of thumb, you should inspect your tires every month for wear in order to gauge tread depth. Don’t worry, it isn’t as complicated as it seems – all you need is a quarter. Put George Washington’s head into one of the big grooves. If the top of his head is flush with the tread, you have about 1/8 inch of tread left, which means you have some grip remaining, but should start looking into getting new tires. If you can see space above Washington’s head, you may need to replace your tires immediately.
Tires come in a variety of sizes and each has their own strengths and limitations, which is why it’s important to get the right ones for your car. For example, all-season tires are made to perform well in a wide range of conditions. However, these tires can get costly and aren’t always necessary for your make and model. If you are going to invest in any part of your car, it should be the tires. If you downgrade your tires in order to save money, it could potentially hurt your car’s braking and handling performance, which could lead to costly repairs or services in the future. We suggest sticking with the type of tire that originally came with your car.
