Your Tires Are Old and Balding

The tires on your vehicle are going to wear down over time, which means you’ll have to replace them eventually. They deteriorate due to extreme weather, severe road conditions, exposure to the sun, and other factors.
It’s very easy to notice when your tires are old or balding. If they look worn down, or if you simply haven’t changed them in a long time, then you should visit a service center. Keep in mind that old and balding tires can also affect the handling and performance of your vehicle.

Your Tires Have Uneven Tread 

The level of tread on each tire is also an important factor in your decision to change your tires. Alignment issues with your car or improper air pressure can cause the tread on your tires to become uneven. It’s always important that you monitor the tread to ensure that your tires are wearing down evenly.
Once you notice that one side of your tire is a lot more worn down than the other, that means it’s time to replace your tires. One way to prevent uneven tread is to rotate your tires regularly. This way, you can extend the lifespan of your tires and also save money over time.

Your Car Starts Shaking While You’re Driving

Vibration is typically an indication that you should change your tires. When your car is shaking inordinately as you’re driving on smooth roads, that’s an obvious sign that something’s wrong. Once you notice the vibration, you should avoid driving your vehicle until the issue is resolved.
You should always change your tires immediately once your car starts shaking when you drive it. Waiting will only make the problem worse and worse.

Your Tires Look Damaged

You should also inspect your tires regularly to see if anything looks wrong. If you notice any bulges or punctures in the rubber, then you should change your tires immediately. Remember that you’re always better off replacing them sooner rather than later.
