Driving on old tires doesn’t just put you at risk—it can also affect the safety of other drivers on the road. That’s why it’s crucial to change them regularly. Dee’s Auto Care Specialists  wants you to remain as safe as possible behind the wheel, so they specialize in affordable tire and auto repair services. However, it isn’t always easy to determine when you need a new set of tires, so Dee’s Auto Care Specialists have gathered some helpful tire tips for you below. 

3 Signs You Need New Tires

1. Cracks

When your tires become old and worn, they also become prone to cracks. Cracking isn’t just unsightly, it can also cause considerable damage to your tires, resulting in flats, leaks, and even blowouts. With this in mind, Dee’s Auto Care Specialists recommends bringing your vehicle in at the first sign of such a problem. 

2. Worn Treads

tiresYour tire treads prevent you from slipping and sliding around the asphalt, especially during inclement weather. If the tread wears too thin, your vehicle won’t be able to perform adequately on the road. To check the tread depth on your tires, try the penny test. Place the coin in between your tire treads with Lincoln’s head upside down; if the top of his head shows, invest in a new set of tires immediately. 

3. Bulging or Misshapen Areas

Often, debris in the roadway or manufacturer’s defects can cause tires to warp or appear to develop air bubbles. In addition to being a safety hazard, this issue can affect the performance of your vehicle and should be repaired with urgency.
