Tire Knowledge and Tips
Tires are an essential part of maintenance and should not be neglected. When a tire starts to wear, it loses traction on the road, leading to difficulty stopping, sliding on the road when braking, and possibly a blown tire. Tires should be replaced when the tread depth is less than 2/32 of an inch, equivalent to the top of the Lincoln head to the outer surface of a penny. Read about Massachusetts Minimum Tire Depth. In addition, it is time to replace a tire when it starts to bald, cannot hold air, has excessive loss of thread, exposed tire steel, and extreme side wall cracks.
There are many ways to make a last longer. For example, it is important to inflate your tire to the correct PSI. Check the correct PSI specified on the tire wall. If the tires are not to the proper PSI, it causes the tire to wear out faster. Moreover, ensure your suspension does not have any issues contributing to a worn tire. In addition, tire dressing can help a tire last longer and protect it from the sun.
Moreover, the average lifespan of a tire is 25,000-40,000 miles or every five years. When it is time to replace a tire, there are a few things a consumer should know. First, always purchase tires of the same size. An example is if your tire is P215/65 R15, you should buy a new tire of the same size. Changing tire size can affect drivability and traction. Whatever the case, always replace your tires when damaged, over five years of usage, and over 25,000 miles.
