How Often Should You Replace Your Tires?

Regularly replacing your tires is crucial to maintain your vehicle’s safety and performance. Tires naturally wear down over time due to factors such as individual driving habits, road conditions, and tire quality. Generally, experts recommend that you replace your tires at a minimum of every six years and no later than ten years - even if they appear to be in good condition. However, it might be necessary to replace them sooner. Here are some telltale signs that it’s time to replace your tires:

• Tread Wear: Over time, tires naturally lose their tread, which impacts how well they grip the road and can affect your control. You can check the tread depth of your tires with a tread depth gauge or use the penny test (insert a penny with Abraham Lincoln’s head upside down—if you can see the top of his head, the tread is too low). If the tread depth is less than 2/32 of an inch, it’s time to replace your tires.
• Age of the Tires: Even if your tires appear to have plenty of tread left, the rubber can deteriorate over time. If your tires are six to ten years old, you might want to think about replacing them, even if they are not showing visible signs of damage.
• Cracked or Damaged Sidewalls: Visible cracks, bulges, or cuts in the sidewalls are signs that the tires are weakening, which could lead to a blowout. Act quickly to address this issue before you find yourself in a dangerous situation.
• Frequent Flat Tires: If you’re getting flat or deflated tires more often, it could be a sign that your tires have worn out and are no longer holding air properly. While flat tire repair can provide temporary solutions, if the problem is recurring it might be time for replacement - especially if you’re noticing large punctures or multiple issues in the same area.
• Signs of Imbalance: If your vehicle is out of alignment, your tires might wear out unevenly or more quickly than expected. Excessive vibration or a loud, uneven ride could indicate that your tires are out of balance or that there are internal defects to worry about. You might also notice uneven tread wear (such as more wear on one side of the tire, which can be a sign of an alignment or suspension issue. Addressing the issue and replacing your tires can help your vehicle function more efficiently.

By keeping an eye on any warning signs, you can keep your tires in optimal condition. Regular tire checks and replacing them when necessary will help prevent accidents, enhance your vehicle's performance, and extend your vehicle’s lifespan.

First snow to try these tires, 2 inches, flat straight away, in 2 wheel drive would not move across snow had to engage 4 wheel, not a good choice for any snow conditions.

These tires went on my Dakota. The dry traction was pretty good. Snow traction was zero, but these aren’t snow tires, nor do they have any of the fancy new cold-weather chino stores, so that isn’t a surprise. They resist hydroplaning, but wet traction is nonexistent and cornering in all conditions is terrible. These were installed, rotated every 6,000, and properly aligned at least yearly. They’re finally worn out with 40,000 (down to 2/32” after only 40,000!), and I couldn’t wait to get them off! The Goodyear Wrangler SA and Goodyear Eagles I previously used We’re 1000% better in all conditions.

What a piece of garbage from Yokohama. This tire came with my New Toyota 4 Runner that only has 25,000 miles and it barely have some thread left on it. Mind you no off road driving. I have this vehicle only for 26 months. Yesterday I took it to the dealership for a trade in and they even said I need four new tires.

Got these tires,and within 24 hours was able to test in both dry and wet conditions. Road noise was dramatically reduced when I switched to these tires. Ride comfort was increased, even some of my rattle disappeared. Acceleration, cornering and breaking were controllable and done without feeling "spongy."

In the two months since my purchase, I have made a couple of 1000+ mile trips, some in almost flooding rain. The tires have handled great in all conditions. I would buy again.
