How do you know when it is time for new tires?
The primary goal of tread on a tire is to displace water beneath the tire to improve overall traction. As the treads become worn, the tire is no longer safe. If the tread of your tire is down to 1/16th of an inch it is time to purchase new tires. - Look closely at the tread pattern of your tires, if you are able to see the small bridges that form between your treads and they are flush with the treads, it's time for new tires.
- Try the penny test, put a penny with Lincoln facing you in the center of the tire tread. If you can see the very top of Lincoln's head it is time for new tires immediately, if the hair on top of his head is partially visible you should come visit Coggin Honda Jacksonville and start shopping for new tires. If you cannot see his hair, your tires may not need to be replaced.
Use a depth tread indicator or gauge - if you don't already own one, the gauge is cheap to purchase from most auto parts dealers. Know the legal requirements in your jurisdiction. In some states it is illegal to have tires worn down past 1/16 of an inch. Note any irregular tread wear, this could indicate wheel misalignment, the need for a tire rotation or both. - Replace your tires at least every six years.
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR TIRES
Misaligned wheels can cause uneven and rapid tire wear. It is normal for wheel alignment to change through the life of the vehicle as wear accumulates and especially if the vehicle is driven on rough roads. If abnormal tire wear or damage is discovered when checking tire pressures or during vehicle maintenance, or your Honda has developed symptoms such as pulling to one side or that the steering wheel is not centred when driving straight, the wheel alignment should be checked and corrected if needed.
Proper wheel balance helps prevent unnecessary wear to the tires, steering, and suspension components and also provides for a more enjoyable driving experience. Wheel balance normally changes as tires wear and should be checked periodically when you change or rotate tires, and especially if you have noticed speed-related vibration while driving. Wheel balancing should always be done when replacing tires and when a tire has been removed from a wheel for any reason.
