Check your tread depth. The easiest way to know if it’s time to replace your vehicle’s tires is to have them inspected by a professional, but there are ways to check them yourself by using a tire tread gauge.
Safety standard guidelines in the United States dictate that a tire’s tread needs to be at least 2/32″ deep. If the tires do not meet the 2/32″ standard or are approaching that mark, you should replace your tires.
Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of switching the position of each tire on the car. The purpose of Tire rotation is to help equalize tread wear and is critical to gain the maximum life from your tire investment. Refer to your owner’s manual for the recommended rotation interval and pattern.The rotation pattern varies with different makes and models, which shows the tire locations during rotation.
Wheel alignment is the position of the wheels relative to your car. When properly aligned, the wheels point in the right direction. Without proper alignment, the wheels resist your steering commands, as well as each other. Alignment also affects gas mileage and tire wear. If your tires are pointed in different directions, they fight against each other and can cause tread wear. Proper wheel alignment is integral to maintaining your vehicle.
