Inspect Car Tires
Since you cannot rely on mileage, the best thing to do is to check the tires for wear. If you can see tread wear indicators, definitely bring in the car. One trick we have learned is to insert a penny into the tread to check the life of the tire. If you can see Lincoln’s head – the tires should be replaced. If any metal is visible, avoid driving and get the tire replaced.

When Should I replace my Tires?
The “average” mileage for a tire varies due to variables such as original tire quality, driver usage, weather conditions and driving surfaces. A safe rule to follow is to replace tires after 40,000 miles.
Tire Maintenance
There are many different factors that can prematurely damage a tire. One of the most important factors that can contribute to damaged tires is not rotating your tires regularly. It is recommended to have your tires rotated every 5-10 thousand miles. Also, avoid any areas that contain debris that can puncture your tire.
