3 Signs it's Time to Change Tires & Where to Get Them

Are you ready to swap your old tires for a new set? Here are three signs that it's time to hit the tire shop:

• Low Tread: If your tires are bald or close to bald, it's time to look at replacing them. Worn tires offer decreased traction in rain and winter weather conditions, meaning you're at a greater risk for hydroplaning when driving fast with old tires compared to new tires.
• Old Age: Some car manufacturers recommend changing tires at 6 years, and some tire manufacturers suggest the maximum a tire scan last is 10 years. Tires don't age like fine wine; instead their rubber becomes harder as the years progress. This causes a decrease in performance.
• Performance: Tires play an important role in fuel economy, ride comfort, and overall handling in different weather conditions. If you don't like how your tires perform, then try another tire brand or tire model. Switching tires can provide performance increases in the areas that matter to you.
