How to Check if You Need a Tire Replacement

The two major reasons for a driver to replace their tires are that the tread is worn or there is a hole that is unfixable. To check the tread, place a quarter with the head facing you and upside down. If you can see the top of the head, your tire needs to be replaced. A worn tire loses traction, causing a more dangerous situation on the road as it is harder for your car to stop. To see if your tire has a leak, you can monitor the tire pressure and take note if a tire is deflating faster than the others. If you aren’t sure if your leak can be fixed or not, contact our team so we can take a look.
