Signs that you need to change your car tires immediately

Excessive steering wheel vibration

Normally, when driving, the driver will feel the vibration of the steering wheel, which is normal, especially on poor quality roads. However, for experienced drivers, feeling the vibration of the car's steering wheel is an important thing to have, so when you feel the car has an unusual vibration. You should consider whether it is due to a fault in the shock absorber, or because the wheels are not balanced, or it is time to change the tires.

The tire wear indicator bar begins to appear.

Modern tires now come with tread wear indicators that wear down over time. So, when you see these bars clearly, it may be time to replace your tires.

Bulges or bulges on the tire sidewall

Sometimes the tire sidewall is the first place to wear out. This results in blisters or peeling on the tire sidewall. These can cause the tire to suddenly explode. Therefore, if you do not replace the tire as soon as you discover a blister or peeling, the risk of you getting into a serious traffic accident is very high.

Cracks appear

Not all signs appear on the tire surface, they are also concentrated on the tire sidewall. Due to changes in pressure, the tire may have small cracks on the tire sidewall surface. In addition, during operation, the tire may rub against sharp edges somewhere or sharp stones may fly up, causing cuts. If these marks appear too much or too large - this is the time when you should not "regret" the old tire and replace it with a new one as soon as possible.

Depth of the grooves on the tire

To ensure the best grip, you need to make sure that the grooves on your tires are at least 1.6 mm deep. If you often travel on slippery or wet roads, it is best to double the depth of the tire. To check the tire depth, you just need to buy a thin plastic ruler, cut off (or subtract the length) the plastic part without the measuring lines at both ends of the ruler and insert it into the tire groove.
