When it comes to general vehicle wear and tear, it is safe to say that your vehicle's tires take the brunt of the day-to-day. Your tires are constantly balancing the weight of the vehicle while being in contact with the road in Hagerstown, Frederick, Gaithersburg, or Owings Mills, MD. Therefore, the rubber will get worn down over time making them progressively less effective. For this reason, it is important that you take the necessary actions to prolong the life of your tires as much as possible and, of course, replace them when necessary. 

Balance And Rotate Your Tires Regularly - Extend Tire Life - Even Tire Wear Is Important

One of the main ways that you can help to get more life out of your tires is to have them balanced and rotated on a regular basis. Front and back tires wear differently because they carry the weight of the vehicle differently. Therefore, if you want to ensure that your tires are all wearing evenly, they need to be rotated and balanced properly every few months. Generally, it is recommended that you have this service performed when you bring your vehicle in for an oil change.

Are Your Tires Safe For You & Your Passengers - When Did You Last Check For Tire Wear?

Eventually, tire rotation and balance will not be enough as the tires will naturally wear down to the point where they need to be replaced. Over time the tread on your tires will become worn down which will make them less effective because the less tread depth your tires have the less traction they will provide for your vehicle. One way to test the tread depth of your tires is to use the old-school penny trick. You place a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head pointing down and if you can see the top of his head then the tread has gotten too low. Once this happens it is time to have them replaced.
