How to Make Sure You’re Getting the Most Out of Your Tires

If a tire was manufactured more than five years ago, it should be inspected at least once per year by an auto mechanic or tire professional. If a tire was manufactured more than 10 years ago, we strongly recommend replacing it even if it appears usable or has not been worn down to the tread wear indicator. If a tire’s tread does wear down to its tread wear indicator, regardless of age, it should be replaced as soon as possible.

It is important to choose the right tires for your vehicle to ensure safety and the smoothest ride. We recommend using all identical tires on any vehicle. It’s important to select the correct tire size for your vehicle so the full weight of your vehicle is supported. Tires have a direct impact on how your vehicle responds in urgent situations. 

Deciding on the right type of tires comes down to both what your typical and most severe driving situations entail.

A combination of one set of summer tires and another for winter are recommended if you live in a place with intense winters and summers. Each type of tire is designed to be used in specific conditions.
