Should I Change My Tires Before Fall?

RESERVATIONS

Fall is around the corner!!! As the days grow shorter and temperatures decrease, it’s essential to assess if your Tires are prepared for the fall season. Fluctuating weather conditions can impact your car’s performance, so it’s crucial to confirm your Tires are in good condition. Here are some key aspects to review!

  • Tread Depth: The Tread Depth of your Tires significantly affects traction on the road. Use the penny test by inserting a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head facing down. If the top of his head is visible, it’s time to consider replacing your Tires. Adequate Tread Depth is vital for handling wet and slippery roads, especially in the upcoming season.
  • Cracks or Damage: With time, Tires may develop cracks, cuts, or bulges in the sidewalls, which can be hazardous as temperatures drop and roads become slick. Inspect your Tires thoroughly, and if any damage is evident, replacing them before fall arrives is recommended.
  • All-Season or Winter Tires: Depending on your location, consider switching to all-season or winter Tires for improved traction in cold, wet, or snowy conditions. These Tires offer better control and safety as weather conditions change.
  • Tire Age: Even if your Tires appear fine, their age can impact performance, especially in colder regions. Tires older than six years may not function optimally, so replacing them can enhance safety and effectiveness.
  • Uneven Wear: Check for uneven Tire wear, as it may indicate Alignment or Suspension issues. Uneven wear reduces Tire efficiency and suggests a need for replacement. Professional inspection can prevent larger problems and save you money in the long run.
 

Taking a moment to inspect your Tires now can enhance your vehicle’s readiness for changing weather conditions. Well-maintained Tires are essential for a smooth and secure driving experience as fall approaches. Should you notice any of these concerns, it might be time to invest in new Tires to ensure your safety on the road.
