Have you replaced your tires lately? Manufacturers recommend you replace your tires every 6 years, or every 25,000-50,000 miles. You should inspect your tires regularly to look for the following signs that the tires may need to be replaced:
-Cracking or cuts in the sidewalls.
-Uneven tread wear. This can be caused by improper inflation, misaligned wheels, damaged tires, or by problems with suspension parts.
-Excessively worn tread- you can use a Lincoln-head penny as a tread-wear indicator. Insert the penny into a tire groove with Lincoln's head toward the tire. If you can see the top of Abe's head, the tread is too worn.
-Bulges or blisters. If you see a bulge or blister on the sidewall, replace the tire at once. These signal potential weak spots that could lead to tire failure.
-Excessive vibration. Tire vibration may be a sign a wheel is misaligned, unbalanced, or bent. It could also signify internal tire damage.
