How often should the average driver replace their car tires?
It’s one thing to ask how often to change your tires if you drive only a mile to work each day, and quite another if you’re driving for hours a day. If you’re the average driver though, you’ll want to change your tires every three to six years. We understand that three to six years is a pretty big gap, but there are a few more rules of thumb.
Watch out for these warning signs that you need new tires
There isn’t a mystery to tire replacement. A simple visual inspection is all you need to know if your tires are holding up. Keep an eye out for these signs that your tire needs to be changed.
- A flat tire will be noticeably deflated and may have a puncture mark. If you’re wondering whether your tire is flat or not, it should be obvious with how your car drives. Driving on a flat tire can make your vehicle pull to one side, and your ride won’t be as smooth. Be sure to change a flat immediately.
- A bald tire will have a smooth section that gets no traction. If any part of your tire is smooth, you need to replace it right away.
- A worn tire will have shallow tread. Compare it to a brand-new tire, where the tread is deep, and the lines are crisp. A tire that is worn should be inspected by a professional. It may not need to be replaced, but at the very least, consider a tire rotation.
