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.

My tires are great, I love them They work for rain and snow The Only thing i would say is there is a Little bit of road noise in the Summer months that is noticeable compared to All seasons But its hardly a Game changer Not having to change my tires and rims yearly has saved me HUNDREDS in fees, for changing or for rims and changing. No storage needed etc.. Life is great Never buying anything buy All weather again - I literally Sold NEW Tires from my new car and replaced with All weather.

I didn't realize how terrible all season tires were until I upgraded to these. Night and day better winter performance and great tread life. These set the bar for a 4 season tire. I absolutely recommend these to anyone in Canada.
