How To Tell That Tires Are Worn

Paying close attention to the condition of your tires will help prevent any incidents on the road. Staying proactive ensures that issues are addressed promptly so that you can be back out there driving as soon as possible.

One common sign is that the tires have become bald. The treads on your tires are an important aspect because they provide you with more stability on the road. When they get worn out, you lose that traction you once had. Fortunately, it’s easy to notice that this is happening. By simply looking at each tire, you can begin to notice the treads becoming thinner and know that it’s time to schedule an appointment.

Yet another visual cue is a crack in the tire. Any cracks or fractures on a tire need attention, too, so if you detect any cracks or fractures on your tires, that is a definite sign that it’s time to replace them.

Additionally, vibrations within your car could signal a problem with the tires. Vibrations might mean imbalanced tires or suspension issues. Regardless of the reason, the issue should be addressed immediately.

How To Check Tire Pressure

Watching the pressure levels on your tires is yet another proactive step you can take to preserve their longevity. The measurement used in tire pressure is known as PSI, which stands for “pounds per square inch.” To measure this, you’ll need a pressure gauge on hand.

You’ll want to first consult your owner’s manual or door jamb to find the correct amount of PSI that is needed. Once you’ve established that number, you’re ready to use the gauge. To do so, you remove your tire’s valve cap and press the gauge into the valve stem. From there, the gauge will give you a reading and can determine if the pressure is optimal or needs more air.

If you need more air, you will have to get an air compressor to fill your tires. You can purchase one yourself, and you can even drive to a nearby gas station to fill up. Once you locate one, you can use it to inflate your tires.
