How Often Do I Need New Tires?

There are many factors to consider when you are debating the frequency and need for tire changes. The tread on your tires should be inspected each month to help make the determination of whether it is time for new ones, or not. One easy method to check the tread on your tires is the “Quarter Test.” Follow the directions below to inspect your tires and then check out our website’s inventory to determine if we have what you need in stock.

 

Quarter Test:

  1. Insert a quarter into a tread groove of your tire, with the top of George Washington’s head facing down.
  2. If you are unable to see the top of his head, you have at least 4/32 of tread and the tires do not require a change.
  3. If you can see the top of Washington’s head, it is time for the tires to be changed.

You will want to check the outer edge, center and inside edge of the tread because of the many factors that affect whether the tires wear evenly or not.

At McCluskey Chevrolet, we make certain that the professionals at our Tire Shop receive rigorous training with regards to the many factors that will affect wear and also the effects that these issues would have on vehicle performance. All of our professionals are trained to be knowledgeable about these issues in order to provide you with the best fit of tires for your vehicle and to best advise you about proper tire maintenance.

 

Variables That Will Affect the Frequency In Which Tires May Need To Be Changed

One very important factor that will ultimately have an effect on the frequency that you may need to change your tires is the maintenance of them. It is important that you frequently check the air pressure to ensure that you have proper wearing of your tires. Improper wearing of your tires could cause problems while driving like unusual vibrations or thumping. Below are a few of some common tire problems that could be prevented by proper maintenance:

  • Over inflation of the tires
  • Under inflation of the tires
  • Tread wear on one edge of the tires
  • Erratic Tread Wear
  • Raised portion on the tread or sidewall of the tires

There are other mechanical factors that could ultimately affect the frequency that you need to change your tires. At the McCluskey Chevrolet Tire Shop, we understand the dynamics that can and will affect the performance of your vehicle with regards to the proper choice of tires and the mechanics that support them. Our tire professionals are experts at helping to identify any mechanical issues that could possibly affect tread wear so that you are able to get the most out of your tire purchase. We mount, balance and offer alignments and will meticulously pay attention to detail to ensure that your vehicle will get the most out of the tires that we put on your vehicle. The factors below are important for ensuring optimal performance for your vehicle when selecting and installing new tires.

  • Correct Air Pressure
  • Tread Depth
  • Balance
  • Alignment

 

Environmental

The environment where you drive your vehicle and the amount of time that you drive your vehicle will affect the frequency at which you need to inspect the tread of your tires. If you answer yes to any of these questions, you will want to be conducting inspections of your tires more often.

  • Do you live in a cold climate?
  • Do you drive long distances?
  • Do you have the tendency to hit a lot of potholes with your vehicle?
