An easy way to see if you need new tires is to perform the penny test. Simply place a penny head first into the grooves of your tires. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, this indicates shallow tire treads. You should replace your tires as soon as possible. Southlake Nissan tire experts can also inspect your tires to see how worn they are.
Tire longevity depends on how often you drive and how you maintain your tires. As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to replace your tires every six years or so. But if you have a long commute or put a lot of miles on your car, your tires may wear down faster than usual.
To ensure you get the most out of your new set of tires, maintain them properly. Check tire pressure regularly and get routine tire rotations as recommended by your owner’s manual or a Southlake Nissan technician.
Model, terrain, and the region in which you live are all factors that go into finding the right set of tires. All-season tires are very common and optimal for year-round driving. If you’re interested in off-roading with an SUV or truck, all-terrain tires are a great option. Northwest Indiana receives a lot of snow during the winter months, so you may want to opt for a set of snow tires to swap out for all-season tires during wintertime.
