How to Know When You Need New Tires
Knowing when to replace your tires is crucial for staying safe on the road—especially in Arizona’s intense heat, which can wear tires faster than expected. At Mil Amores McDowell, we help our customers identify signs of wear early so they avoid blowouts or costly repairs.
Top Signs You Need New Tires
- Tread Depth Is Below 2/32 Inch: Use the penny test—if you can see all of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for replacements.
- Uneven Wear: This may signal alignment or suspension issues.
- Visible Cracks or Bulges: These are safety hazards and require immediate replacement.
- Constant Air Loss: If you’re refilling your tire more than once a month, it’s a red flag.
- Vibrations While Driving: Excessive vibration could mean your tires are out of balance or damaged.
Expert Insight
“Most people wait too long before replacing tires. In Phoenix, the heat and road conditions wear them out faster. When in doubt, have them inspected every 6 months.”
