It's not just your brakes that stop your vehicle; your tire's tread is also critical to stopping your vehicle on-time and keeping it from slipping, especially on wet roads. As your tires get older, the tread wears, and when that happens, the tires should be replaced immediately. How do you know if that's the case?
Tire Tests Both Driving And While Parked
You can usually tell if your vehicle has tires with tread going bad by either wearing unevenly, or going completely bald. Here are a few things you can notice either while driving or parked:
While Driving:
- Rumblings or other noises coming from your wheels
- Excessive shaking and uncomfortable driving
While Parked:
- A quarter is placed in your tire tread, and you can see Washington's head
- You look at the wheels and see signs of uneven wear and scratches where the tread should be
