Why You Need to Replace Your Tires
This is a common question. Regardless of whether there’s any visible damage, industry standards recommend you fully replace your car’s tires every six years for vehicles that are used regularly. Though you can repair your tire, repair is not always the best option. Tires with large punctures or multiple points of penetration will be too structurally unsound to work.
You should also replace tires that have been worn down. Tires begin to lose tread with every rotation, and too much tread loss can lead to serious driving issues. Though you can use the penny test to determine your tire’s wear, we recommend using a tread depth gauge for a precise measurement.
